Well, I was born a coal miners daughter
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor, but we had love
Thats the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor mans dollar
My daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine
All day long in the field a-hoin corn
Mommy rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal oil light
And everthing would start all over come break of morn
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miners pay
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever day
Why Ive seen her fingers bleed
To complain there was no need
Shed smile in Mommys understanding way
In the summertime we didnt have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime wed 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
Yeah! Im proud to be a coal miners daughter
I remember well, the well where I drew water
The work we done was hard
At night wed sleep cause we were tired
I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler
Well alot of things have changed since way back then
And its so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floor
Nothing lives here anymore
Except the memries of a coal miners daughter

첫댓글 "As Soon As I Hang Up The Phone"이란곡에서 잘못했다고 사정사정하는 남자를( Conway Twitty)전화로 한판뜨고 차버리고 떠났던 잘나가는 여자 Loretta Lynn 입니다.
광부의 딸.. 로레타 린의 자서전적인 노래로, 로레타 린은 크리스탈게일의 친언니이기도 합니다.콘웨이 트위티와는 10여년간 같이 활동를 했구요....결국은 결별을 하지만........ 오랜만에 컨츄리음악 잔잔하게 잘 듣습니다.
Loretta Lynn 의 노래소리가 정겹게 들리네요............. 잘 듣습니다...........^^*
