Explosion In The Fairmount Mines

歌詞

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"
