[00:07.15]Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter
[00:14.50]In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
[00:21.10]We were poor but we had love
[00:24.32]That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
[00:28.28]He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar
[00:35.33]My daddy worked all night in the Van Leer coal mine
[00:42.32]And all day long in the field a' hoeing corn
[00:48.88]Momma rocked the babies at night and read the Bible by the coal oil light
[00:55.90]And everything would start all over come break of morn'
[01:02.87]Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
[01:09.73]Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard every day
[01:16.58]Well, I seen her fingers bleed, to complain there was no need,
[01:23.89]She'd smile in mommy's understanding way
[01:30.73]In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
[01:37.68]But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
[01:44.49]From a mail order catalog, money made from selling a hog
[01:51.61]Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
[01:57.96]Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
[02:05.25]I remember well the well where I drew water
[02:12.17]The work we done was hard, at night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
[02:19.34]I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler
[02:26.26]Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then
[02:33.50]And it's so good to be back home again
[02:39.74]Not much left but the floors, nothing lives here anymore
[02:47.20]Except the memories of a coal miner's daughter
[02:53.92]Except the memories of a coal miner's daughter
