Explosion In the Fairmount Mines

One bright morning, a miner, just about to leave
Heard his dear child screaming in a 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, sometime, 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
Then 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 daddy's neck
She kissed him, again 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"
