Well I was born a coal miner's daughter |
| [00:12.70] |
|
| [00:15.05] |
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler |
| [00:19.54] |
|
| [00:21.94] |
We were poor but we had love |
| [00:24.49] |
|
| [00:25.51] |
That's the one thing |
| [00:26.82] |
That daddy made sure of |
| [00:28.22] |
|
| [00:29.24] |
He shoveled coal to make |
| [00:31.86] |
A poor man's dollar |
| [00:33.42] |
|
| [00:36.08] |
My daddy worked all night |
| [00:38.82] |
In the Van Lear coal mine |
| [00:40.66] |
|
| [00:43.43] |
All day long in the field a-hoin' corn |
| [00:47.05] |
|
| [00:49.96] |
Mommy rocked the babies at night |
| [00:52.52] |
|
| [00:53.24] |
And read the Bible by the coal oil light |
| [00:56.05] |
|
| [00:56.95] |
And ever'thing would start |
| [00:58.85] |
All over come break of morn' |
| [01:00.95] |
|
| [01:03.91] |
Daddy loved and raised eight kids |
| [01:06.74] |
On a miner's pay |
| [01:08.17] |
|
| [01:10.84] |
Mommy scrubbed our clothes |
| [01:12.59] |
On a washboard ever' day |
| [01:14.98] |
|
| [01:17.67] |
Why I've seen her fingers bleed |
| [01:20.30] |
|
| [01:21.27] |
To complain there was no need |
| [01:23.74] |
|
| [01:24.63] |
She'd smile in Mommy's |
| [01:26.89] |
Understanding way |
| [01:28.86] |
|
| [01:31.82] |
In the summertime |
| [01:33.80] |
We didn't have shoes to wear |
| [01:36.05] |
|
| [01:38.62] |
But in the wintertime |
| [01:40.42] |
We'd all get a brand new pair |
| [01:43.05] |
|
| [01:45.54] |
From a mail order catalog |
| [01:48.06] |
|
| [01:49.13] |
Money made from sellin' a hog |
| [01:51.76] |
|
| [01:52.58] |
Daddy always managed to |
| [01:54.72] |
Get the money somewhere |
| [01:57.16] |
|
| [01:59.07] |
Yeah I'm proud to be |
| [02:01.38] |
A coal miner's daughter |
| [02:04.03] |
|
| [02:06.61] |
I remember well the well |
| [02:09.36] |
Where I drew water |
| [02:10.88] |
|
| [02:13.43] |
The work we done was hard |
| [02:16.11] |
|
| [02:16.73] |
At night we'd sleep 'cause |
| [02:18.38] |
We were tired |
| [02:19.49] |
|
| [02:20.35] |
I never thought of ever leaving |
| [02:23.38] |
|
| [02:23.96] |
Butcher Holler |
| [02:25.59] |
|
| [02:27.51] |
Well alot of things have changed |
| [02:30.26] |
Since way back then |
| [02:31.61] |
|
| [02:34.72] |
And it's so good to be back home again |
| [02:38.40] |
|
| [02:41.05] |
Not much left but the floor |
| [02:44.15] |
|
| [02:44.93] |
Nothing lives here anymore |
| [02:47.24] |
|
| [02:48.25] |
Except the mem'ries of |
| [02:50.52] |
A coal miner's daughter |
