Loretta Lynn - Coal Miner's Daughter lyrics
Well, I was born a coal minerīs daughter In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler We were poor, but we had love Thatīs the one thing that daddy made sure of He shoveled coal to make a poor manīs dollar My daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine All day long in the field a-hoinī corn Mommy rocked the babies at night And read the Bible by the coal oil light And everīthing would start all over come break of mornī Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a minerīs pay Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard everī day Why Iīve seen her fingers bleed To complain there was no need Sheīd smile in Mommyīs understanding way In the summertime we didnīt have shoes to wear But in the wintertime weīd all get a brand new pair )From a mail order catalog Money made from sellinī a hog Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere Yeah! Iīm proud to be a coal minerīs daughter I remember well, the well where I drew water The work we done was hard At night weīd sleep īcause we were tired I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler Well alot of things have changed since way back then And itīs so good to be back home again Not much left but the floor Nothing lives here anymore Except the memīries of a coal minerīs daughter |
