Well, DI was born a coal mGiner's daughtDer
In a cabin on a Ehill in Butcher A7Holler
We were Dpoor, but we had love
That's the Gone thing that daddy made Dsure of
He shoveled coal to A7make a poor man's Ddollar.
DMy daddy worked all Gnight in the Vanleer Dcoal mine
All day long in the Efield a-hoin' A7corn
Mommie rDocked the babies at night
And read the GBible by the coal-Doil light
And ever'thing would A7start all over come Dbreak of morn'.
EbDaddy loved and raised eight kids on a Abminer's Ebpay
Mommie Fscrubbed our clothes on a Bb7washboard ever' day
Why, I've Ebseen her fingers bleed
To Abcomplain there was no Ebneed
She'd smile in Mommie's Bb7understanding Ebway.
In the Ebsummertime we Abdidn't have shoes to Ebwear
But in the Fwintertime we'd all get a brand new Bb7pair
From a Ebmail order catalog,
Money Abmade from sellin' a Ebhog
Daddy always managed to Bb7get the money Ebsomewhere.
Yeah!, I'm Eproud to be a Acoal miner's Edaughter
I Fremember well - the B7well where I drew water
The Ework we done was hard
At nAight we'd sleep 'cause we were Etired
I never thought of ever B7leaving Butcher EHoller.
Well, a Elot of things have Achanged since way back Ethen
And Fit's so good to B7be back home again
Not Emuch left but the floor
Nothing Alives here anyEmore
Except the mem'ries of a B7coal miner's Edaughter
