Coal Miner's Daughter Letra

Well I was born 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 daddy made sure of He shovel coal to make a poor man's dollar Daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine all day long in the field hoein' corn Mommie rocked the baby that night read the Bible by a coal oil light And everything would start all over come break of morn Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay Mommie scrubbed our clothes on a wash board everyday I've seen her fingers bleed to complain there was no need She's smile in mommie's understanding way In the summer time we didn't have shoes to wear But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair From themail order catalog money made by selling a hog Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere 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 for we were tired I never thought I'd ever leave Butcher Holler But a lots of things have changed since the way back then And it's so good to be back home again Not much but the floor nothing lives there anymore Just the mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter
