Doc Watson - Dream of the miners child

^CA miner was ^Fleaving his ^Chome for his work ^CWhen he heard his ^D7little child ^G7scream He ^Cwent to the ^Fside of the ^Clittle girl's bed ^CShe said, "Daddy, I've ^G7had such a ^Cdream!"

^CPlease Daddy don't ^C7go to the ^Fmines to^Cday ^CFor dreams have so often come ^Gtrue. My ^CDaddy, my ^Fdaddy, please ^Cdon't go away, ^CFor I never could ^G7live without ^Cyou.

^CThen smiling and ^Fstroking the ^Clittle girls face ^CHe was turning a^D7way from her ^G7side But ^Cshe threw her ^Fsmall arms a^Cround daddy's neck ^CShe gave him a ^G7kiss, and then ^Ccried: ...

^C"Oh I dreamed that the ^Fmines were all ^Cflaming with fire ^CAnd the men, all ^D7fought for their ^G7lives. Just ^Cthen the scene ^Fchanged, and the ^Cmouth of the mine ^CWas covered with ^G7sweethearts and ^Cwives."

^C"Oh daddy, don't ^C7go to the ^Fmines to^Cday, ^CFor dreams have so often come ^Gtrue. My ^CDaddy, my ^Fdaddy, please ^Cdon't go away, ^CFor I never could ^G7live without ^Cyou."

^C"Go down to the ^Fvillage and ^Ctell your dear friends ^CThat as sure as the ^D7bright stars do ^G7shine, There is ^Csomething that's ^Fgoing to ^Chappen today; ^CPlease daddy, don't ^G7go to the ^Cmines."

^COh Daddy don't ^C7work in the ^Fmines to^Cday ^CFor dreams have so often come ^Gtrue. My ^CDaddy, my ^Fdaddy, please ^Cdon't go away, ^CFor I never could ^G7live without ^Cyou."
