6. Loretta LynnCoal Miner's Daughter

Loretta Lynn

Well I was born'd the 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 Vanleer coal mine
All day long in the field a hoein' corn
Mommie 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
Mommie scrubbed our clothes on a washboard everyday
Why I've seen her fingers bleed to complain there was no need
She'd smiled 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

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 lotta things have changed since the 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 mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter
