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 was one thing that daddy made sure of
he shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar
my daddy worked all night in a van near coma
and all day long in the field a hoe and corn
mama rocked the babies at night
read the bible by the colo light
and everything would start all over come break of morn
daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
and mama scrubbed our clothes on a washboard every day
while i've seen her fingers bleed to complain
there was no need
she'd smile in mama's understanding way
in the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
from a mail order catalog
money made by selling 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
and now we sleep cause we were tired
never thought of ever leaving butcher holler
well a lot of things have changed since way back then
oh and it's so good to be back home again
not much left but the floor
nothing lives here anymore
except the memories of a coal miner's daughter
except the memories of a coal miner's daughter
Off The Record
