Here are jewels in the darkness 
There are treasures down below 
And strange glimmers in the shadows 
Where the children can not go 
Now I know you miss your daddy 
But he's gonna, be just fine 
Don't you worry, little darling 
Daddy's just down in the mine 

There are things that can't be measured 
Or touched by tiny hands 
There are countless worlds of wonder 
Not even daddy understands 
But if you should have a question 
Just drop me a line 
I'm never too far away from you 
Daddy's down in the mine 

Now a pocket full of silver 
Or a wagon load of gold 
Or a truckload full of diamonds 
I would leave down by the road 
I would trade a devil's ransom 
Just to see your two eyes shine 
So when I'm gone remember 
Daddy's just down in the mine
