daddy was a miner spent life in a hole
working in the dark digging out the coal
did the best he could supporting ma and me
i was just a kid at the age of three

as the years went bye  his health it took its toll
breathing in the dust  while he was digging coal
daddy carried on till his last breath it had gone
i took daddies place so we could carry on

i became a miner  didnt have much choice
daddy is still there i can hear his voice
watching over me right there by my side
now my angel daddy will always be my guide
