Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter 
                E               A7  
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler 
        D  
We were poor, but we had love 
           G                         D  
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of 
                    A7                D  
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar. 
 
My daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine 
All day long in the field a-hoin' corn 
Mommie rocked the babies at night 
And read the Bible by the coal-oil light 
And ever'thing would start all over come break of morn'.

Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay 
                                F               Bb  
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever' day 
    Eb   
Why, I've seen her fingers bleed 
   G#                    Eb  
To complain there was no need 
                       Bb            Eb  
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 from sellin' a hog 
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere. 
 
          E              A            E  
Yeah!, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter 
                      F#               B  
I remember well - the well where I drew water 
   E  
The work we done was hard 
              A                    E  
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired 
                        B              E  
I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler. 
 
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 mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter
