Coalminer's doughter

Well i was born a coalminer'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 make sure of

He shoveled coal to make a poor mans dollar

My daddy worked all night on in the van lear coalmine

All day long in the field a'howing corn

Mommy rocked the babes 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 us kids on a miners pay

And mommy scrubed our clothes on a washboard every day

Well i'd seen her fingers bleed

To complain there was no need

She'd smile in mommies understanding way

In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear

But in the wintertime we'd all got 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 coalminer's daughter

I remember well the well where i drew water

The work we've done was hard

At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired

I never thought of ever leavein' 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 nothin lives here any more

Exept the memories of a coalminer's daughter
