  COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER

  Words and music by Loretta Lynn

  

  [D] Well, I was born a [G] coal miner's [D] daughter

  In a cabin on a [E] hill in Butcher [A7] Holler

  We were [D] poor, but we had love

  That's the [G] one thing that daddy made [D] sure of

  He shoveled coal to [A7] make a poor man's [D] dollar.

  

  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'.

  

  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.
