 all blazing w

    
ith fire
             
and the worker

              
s all fought f

         
or their lives
             
just then the 

              
scene changed 

             
and the mouth 

       
of the mines
             
was covered wi

             
th sweethearts

     
 and wives


[Chorus]
             
Oh daddy don't

I never could
