[Verse 1]
G                       C            G
A miner was leaving his home for his work

                          D
He heard his little child scream

G                      C          G
He went to the side of the little ones's bed

              D          G
Oh daddy I've had such a dream
[Chorus]
   G                        C     G
   Oh daddy don't go to the mines today

                                 D
   For dreams have so often come true

   G                        C        G
   Oh daddy dear daddy just don't go away

                 D            G
   I never could live without you
[Verse 2]
G                                 C            G         
I dreamed that the mines were all blazing with fire

                             D
The workers fought for their lives

    G                          C                G         
But then the scene changed and the mouth of the mine

                 D               G 
Was covered with sweethearts and wives
[Chorus]
   G                        C     G
   Oh daddy don't go to the mines today

                                 D
   For dreams have so often come true

   G                        C        G
   Oh daddy dear daddy just don't go away

                 D            G
   I never could live without you
[Verse 3]
G                      C                 G 
Go down to the village and tell all your friends

                               D
As sure as the bright sun does shine

G                            C            G
There's something a going to happen there today

             D           G   
Please daddy don't go to that mine
[Chorus]
   G                        C     G
   Oh daddy don't go to the mines today

                                 D
   For dreams have so often come true

   G                          C        G
   Oh daddy dear daddy please don't go away

                 D            G
   I never could live without you
