Coal miner's daughter recitation


Well, I was borned 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 my daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar
My daddy, he worked all night in the Van Lear coal mines
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 ever’ thing would start all over come break of morn
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommy scrubb?d our clothes on a washboard ever' day
Why I'v? 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 from selling a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
Yes, 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 all tired
I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler
Well a lot of things have changed since a way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floors, there' nothing lives here anymore
Except the memories of a coal miner's daughter

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
