Call Daddy from the Mine

A little girl woke up deep in
The dark and started crying
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
