Coal Miner's Daughter
Well, I was borned a coal miner's daughter
In a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor, but we had love
That's the one thing that Daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar
My daddy worked all night in the Van Leer coal mines
All day long in the field, a-hoin' corn
Mommy rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal oil light
And everything would start all over come break of morn'
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a warshboard every day
Why, I've seen her fingers bleed
To complain, there was no need
She'd smile in Mommy's understanding way
In the summertime, we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime, we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog
Money made from selling a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
I remember well, the well where I drew water
The work we done was hard
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
I never thought of ever leavin' Butcher Holler
Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left, but the floor
Nothin' lives here anymore
Except the memories of a coal miner's daughter
In a cabin, on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor, but we had love
That's the one thing that Daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar
My daddy worked all night in the Van Leer coal mines
All day long in the field, a-hoin' corn
Mommy rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal oil light
And everything would start all over come break of morn'
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a warshboard every day
Why, I've seen her fingers bleed
To complain, there was no need
She'd smile in Mommy's understanding way
In the summertime, we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime, we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog
Money made from selling a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
I remember well, the well where I drew water
The work we done was hard
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
I never thought of ever leavin' Butcher Holler
Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left, but the floor
Nothin' lives here anymore
Except the memories of a coal miner's daughter
