An Evening Long Ago: Live 1956
Dream of A Miner's Child
The miner was leaving his home for his work
He heard his little child scream
He went to the side of the little childs bed

Oh daddy I've had such a dream
Oh daddy don't go to the mines today
For dreams do so often come true
Oh daddy, dear daddy, please don't go away

I never could live without you
I dreamed that the mines were all ablazing with fire
The workers all fought for they're lives
Just then the scene changed and the mouth of the mine

Was covered with sweethearts and wives
Oh daddy don't go to the mines today
For dreams do so often come true
Oh daddy, dear daddy, please don't go away

I never could live without you
Go down to the village and tell all of our dear friends
As sure as the dry sun does shine
There's something that going to happen today

Please daddy don't go to the mine
Oh daddy don't go to the mines today
For dreams do so often come true
Oh daddy, dear daddy, please don't go away
I never could live without you
