Well, I was horned
A cool miner's
Daughter
In a cabin

On a hill in
Butcher holler
We were poor
But we had love

Thofs 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 mines
All day long
In the field

A- hoein' corn
Mommy rocked
The babies of night

And read the Bible
By the coaI-oil light
And eve ryihing

Would start all over
Come break of morn
Daddy loved and

R0 ised eig ht kids

On a miner's pay
Mommy scrubbed
Our clothes

On a washboord
Every day
Why, I've seen
Her fingers bleed

To complain,
There was no need
She'd smile in

Mommy's
Understanding way
In the summertime

We d id n't hove

Shoes to wea r
But in the wintertime
We'd all get a

Brand new pair
From 0
MaiI-order catalog

Money made
From sellin' a hog
Daddy always
Managed to geiL

The money
Somewhere
Yeah, I'm proud to be

A coal minesz
Daughter
I re member well

The well

Where I drew wafer
The work we done

Was hard

At night we'd sleep
'Cause we were tired
I never ihoug hi

Of ever Ieovin'
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 leH
But the floor

Nothin' lives here
Anymore
Except the
Memories of

A cool mineHs
