As I depart from you here my darling, and leave these words of love with you
say a prayer from your lips so sweet and tender, to see you again and my life I will not lose
for I must go to work down in the mine love just to try and raise our darling family
but I feel that the time is drawing nigh now for my loved ones I pray i do not leave
Wasting away in the heart of the earth love, Lord knows it not the way that I would choose
but its the only thing for a man here and some how I know my life that I will lose
So my dear tonight while you dreaming just remember I'll always be there and when you wake my love in the morning offer for me a small miners prayer
As I depart from you here my darling just remember I'll always be there
and when you wake my love in the morning
offer for me a small miners prayer
offer for me a small miners prayer
