Coal Miner's Daughter (the Voice Performance) Lyrics - Hannah Kay

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 Van Leer coal mine 

And all day long in the field a' hoeing corn 

Momma rocked the babies at night, read the Bible by the coal oil light 

And everything would start all over come break of morn'

Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay 

And mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard every day 

Well, I 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 by 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 hard, at night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired 

Never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler
