A miner was leaving her home for work

when she heard her little child scream

she went to the side of the little girls bed

oh momma I had such a dream

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

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
