Call Daddy from the Mine |
| A little girl woke up deep in the dark and started cryin' |
| The mother brought a light and held her daughter tight |
| She thought it was so strange to hear a little girl of nine |
| Cry call daddy from the mine call daddy from the mine |
| Her mother wiped the tears and said see honey you’re only dreaming |
| Your dad must work today he has to draw his pay |
| She left her then but still could hear her cry time after time |
| Call daddy from the mine call daddy from the mine |
| Then the countryside was shaken by a mighty rumble |
| And fear for miles around was the trembling of the ground |
| The little girl was fast asleep yet cried out one more time |
| Call daddy from the mine call daddy from the mine |
| Ten thousand tears and two weeks later deep in the smoking ground |
| A dying man was found had survived all those around |
| He’d quickly crawled to a fresh air pocket barely just in time |
| When he heard his own child whine call daddy from the mine |
| Call daddy from the mine call daddy from the mine |
