A little girl woke up deep in the dark and st arted cryin'
The mot her brought a light and held her da ughter tight
She tho ught it was so strange to hear a little girl of nin e Cry
Call Da ddy from the mine Call Daddy from the mine
Her mot her wiped the tears and said See honey you're o nly dreaming
Your dad must work today He has to draw hi s pay
She lef t her then but still could hear her cry time after ti me
Call Da ddy from the mine Call Daddy from the mine
(Parlé:)
Then the countryside was sh aken by a mighty rumble
And fear for miles around was the trembling of the ground
The lit tle girl was fas t asleep yet cried out one more tim e
Call Dad dy from the mine Call Daddy from t he mine
Ten th ousand tears and two weeks later deep in the smoking ground
A dyi ng man was found had survived all those around
He'd qui ckly crawled to a fresh air pocket barely just in time
When he heard his own child whine Call Daddy from the mine
Call Da ddy from the mine Call Daddy from the mine
