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 |
|
[ guitar ] |
|
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 |
|
[ guitar ] |
|
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 |
