Coal Miner's Daughter (Coal Miner's Daughter/Soundtrack Version)

Coal Miner's Daughter - Sissy Spacek

Written by：Loretta Lynn

Well I was born a coal miner's daughter

In a cabin on a hill

In butcher hollow

We were poor but we had love

That's the one thing

Me daddy made sure of

He shoveled coal

To make a poor man's dollar

My daddy worked all night

In the family coal mine

All day long in the fields

A hoeing corn

Mommy rocked the babies at night

Read the Bible

By the foor oil light

And everything would start

All over come break of morn

Daddy loved and raised

Eight kids on a miner's pay

Mommy scrubbed our clothes

On the washboard every day

Well 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 catalogue

Money made from selling 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 head

And how we'd sleep

'Cause we were tired

I never thought

Of ever leaving butcher hollow

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 memories

Of a coal miner's daughter
