COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER
Words and music by Loretta Lynn
DWell, I was born a Gcoal miner's Ddaughter
In a cabin on a Ehill in Butcher A7Holler
We were Dpoor, but we had love
That's the Gone thing that daddy made Dsure of
He shoveled coal to A7make a poor man's Ddollar.
DMy daddy worked all night in the GVanleer Dcoal mine
All day long in the Efield a-hoin' A7corn
Mommie Drocked the babies at night
And read the GBible by the coal-oil Dlight
And ever'thing would start all A7over come break of Dmorn'.
Change to Eb:
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommie scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever' day
Why, I've seen her fingers bleed
To complain there was no need
She'd smile in Mommie'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 sellin' a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere.
Change to E:
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 leaving 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
Nothing lives here anymore
Except the mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter.
