Chuck Ragan - Dream of a Miner's Child lyrics

A miner was leavin' her home for work When she heard her little child scream She went to the side of her little girl's bed Oh mama, I've had such a dream Oh, mama, don't go to the mines today For dreams have so often come true Oh, mama, dear mama, please don't go away For I never could live without you I dreamed that the mines were all raging with fire And the miners all fought for their lives Then the scene changed at the mouth of the mine It was covered with husbands and wives Oh, mama, don't go to the mines today For dreams have so often come true Oh, mama, dear mama, please don't go away For I never could live without you
