Well, I was born a coal min-er's daugh-ter,
In a cab-in, on a hill in Butch-er Hol-ler,
We were poor, but we had love,
That's the one thing that dad-dy made sure of,
He shov-eled coal to make a poor man's dol-lar.
My dad-dy worked all night
in the Van Lear Coal Mine,
All day long in the field a-hoe-in' corn,
Mom-my rocked the ba-by at night,
read The Bi-ble by a coal-oil light,
And ev-'ry-thing would start all ov-er
come break of morn.
