作词 : Lynn | |
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 that Daddy made sure of | |
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar. | |
My Daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine | |
All day long in the field a-hoin' corn | |
Mommy 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'. | |
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay | |
Mommy 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 Mommy'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. | |
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 worked hard | |
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. |
