One bright morning, the miner just about to leave,
Heard his dear child screaming in all fright.
He went to her bed, then she looked up and said:
« I have had such a dream, turn on the light.
Daddy, please don't go down in that hole today,
For my dreams do come true some time, you know.
Oh, don't leave me, daddy, please don't go away,
Something bad sure will happen, do not go.
Oh, I dreamed that the mines were burning out with fire,
Every man was fighting for his life.
And some had companions and they prayed out loud,
Oh God, please protect my darling wife »
Daddy, please don't go down in that hole today,
For my dreams do come true sometime, you know.
Oh, don't leave me, daddy, please don't go away,
Something bad sure will happen, do not go »
Then her daddy bent down and kissed her dear sweet face,
Turned again to travel on his way,
But she threw her small arms around her daddy's neck,
She kissed him again, and he heard her say:
« Daddy, please don't go down in that hole today,
For my dreams do come true sometime, you know.
Oh, don't leave me, daddy, please don't go away,
Something bad sure will happen, do not go »
Then the miner was touched, and said he would not go:
« Hush, my child, I'm with you, do not cry. »
There came an explosion and two-hundred men
Were shut in the mines and left to die.
« Daddy, please don't go down in that hole today,
For my dreams do come true sometime, you know.
Oh, don't leave me, daddy, please don't go away,
Something bad sure will happen, do not go »
