[A]
A miner's [D] labor's all [A] for his work
He had his little [E] child's dream
[A] He went to the side [D] of the little [A] one's bed
Oh, Daddy, [E] I've [A] had such a dream
Oh, Daddy, don't go through [D] [A] mines today
For dreams have so often [E] come true
[A] Oh, Daddy, dear Daddy, [D]
don't [A] go away
I never [E] could [A] live without you
I dreamed that the mines were [D] all blazing [A] with fire
The workers fought [E] for their lives
[A] But then the scene changed and [D] the mouth [A] of the mine
Was covered [E] with sweethearts [A] and wine
Oh, Daddy, don't go through [D] [A] mines today
For dreams have so [E] often come true
[A] Oh, Daddy, dear Daddy, [D]
don't [A] go away
I never could live without you
Go down to the village, [D] tell [A] all your friends
As sure as the bright [E] sun does shine
[A] There's something gold [Bm] happening there [A] today
Please, Daddy, don't go to that mine
Oh, Daddy, don't go to [Bm]
mines [A] today
For dreams have so often [E] come true
[A] Oh, Daddy, dear Daddy, [D] please don't [A] go away
I never [E] could live [A] without you
