The DT version is the original "DON'T GO DOWN IN THE MINE, DAD" (Robert Donnely, Will Geddes). I first learned this song (see below) from Folk Songs of the Blue Ridge Mountains (Oak, 1968, pp. 64-65) by Herbert Shellans, which apparently comes from Vernon Dalhart's version (Archie Greene, Only A Miner, pp. 121-122).

THE MINER'S CHILD'S DREAM

A miner was leaving his home for his work,
When he heard his little child scream.
He went to the side of his little child's bed;
"Oh, daddy, I've had such a dream."

CHORUS:
"Oh, daddy, don't work in the mines today,
For dreams have so often come true;
Oh, daddy, oh, daddy, don't go away,
For I never could live without you."

The miner then stroking her in the face,
Was turning away from her side;
Then throwing her little arms around daddy's neck,
She gave him a kiss, then cried:

Chorus

"Go down o the village and tell your dear friends
That there is a bright star to shine;
There's something that's going to happen today;
Oh, daddy, don't work in the mines."

Chorus

"I dreamed that the mines were all smoking with fire,
And the men all fought for their lives.
Just then the dream changed, and the mouth of the mines
Were covered with sweethearts and wives."

Chorus
