Coal Miners Daughter
written and recorded by Loretta Lynn
C F C
Well I was born a coal miner's daughter
D7 G7
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
C
We were poor but we had love
F C
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
G7 C
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar
F C
My daddy worked all night in the family coal mine
D7 G7
All day long in the field a-hoin' corn
C
Mommy rocked the babies at night
F C
Read the Bible by the coal oil light
G7 C
And everything would start all over come break of morn'
F C
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
D7 G7
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard every day
C
I've seen her fingers bleed
F C
To complain there was no need
G7 C
She'd smile in Mommy's understanding way
F C
In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
D7 G7
But in the winter time we'd all get a brand new pair
C
From a mail order catalog
F C
Money made from sellin' a hog
G7 C
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
F C
Yeah I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
D7 G7
I remember well the well where I drew water
C
The work we done was hard
F C
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
G7 C
I never thought I'd ever leave Butcher Holler
F C
Well a lot of things have changed since way back then
D7 G7
And it's so good to be back home again
C
Not much left but the floor
F C
Nothing lives here anymore
G7 C
Just a memory of a coal miner's daughter
