"Coal Miner's Daughter"
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.
My daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine
All day long in the field a-hoin' corn
Mommie rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal-oil light
And ever'thing would start all over come break of morn'.
EbDaddy loved and raised eight G#kids on a miner'sEb pay
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a Fwashboard ever' Bbday
Why,Eb I've seen her fingers bleed
To G#complain there was no Ebneed
She'd smile in Mommy's Bbunderstanding Ebway.
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.
Yeah!, I'mE proud to be a Acoal miner's Edaughter
I remember well - the F#well where I drewB water
TheE work we done was hard
At night we'd Asleep 'cause we were Etired
I never thought of ever Bleaving ButcherE 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
End
