Coal Miners Daughter Loretta Lynn Lyrics
The Grand Ole Opry Country Music Celebrity from Kentucky

Coal Miners Daughter

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's the one thing my Daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar

My daddy worked all night in the Vanlear coal mine
All day long in the field hoein' corn
Mama rocked the babies at night
Read the Bible by a coal oil light
And everthin'would start all over come break of morn'

Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a coal miner's pay
Mama scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever day
I'd 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
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog, money made by sellin' hogs
Daddy always got the money somewhere

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 to leave Butcher Holler

Well a lot of things have changed since way back when
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floor
Nothing lives here anymore
Only a memory of a coal miner's daughter

Loretta Lynn Quotes

You know, I don't even like to be up on a stage, really.
I like to be where I can look at ya. I don't want to
sing down to you. I want you to sing with me.
Loretta Lynn

Sometimes it's like you're a big pie settin' on the table,
and everybody runs up and gets their piece of you. When
it's over, the plate's empty.
Loretta Lynn
