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   (Parlé:) 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

À propos de la chanson

Une petite fille se réveille dans l'obscurité et pleure, inquiète de l'absence de son père, qui travaille dans une mine. Sa mère s’efforce de la réconforter, lui disant que ce n'est qu'un rêve et que son père doit gagner sa vie. Pourtant, la terre tremble soudainement, et un terrible événement se produit, laissant la fille dans un profond chagrin. Deux semaines plus tard, dans les décombres d'une catastrophe minière, un homme miraculeusement survivant se rappelle les pleurs de sa fille et sa désespérée demande de secours. Le lien d'amour et de dépendance familiale transparaît dans cette histoire tragique.
