G            C                 G
A miner was leaving her home for work
G                                   D
when she heard her little child scream
G            C                 G
she went to the side of the little girls bed
G         D            G
oh momma I had such a dream

G                       C      G
Oh momma don't go to the mines today
G                                D
for dreams have so often come true
G          C         G
oh momma dear momma please don't go away
G                 D              G
for I never could live with out you


I dreamed that the mines was all raging with fire
and the miners all fought for their lives
just then the scene changed at mouth of the mines
all covered with husbands and wives

Oh momma don't go to the mines today
for dreams have so often come true
oh momma dear momma please don't go away
for I never could live with out you

Go down to the village and tell your dear friends
that as sure as the bright stars do shine
that something is going to happen today
oh momma don't go to the mines

Oh momma don't go to the mines today
for dreams have so often come true
oh momma dear momma please don't go away
for I never could live with out you
