Well, I was born 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 daddy made sure of, He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar. My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear Cole Mines, All day long in a field a-hoein' corn, Mommy rocked the babies at night, and read The Bible by the coal-oil light, And everything would start all over come break of mornin'. Daddy loved and raised 8 kids on a miner' pay, Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a wash board every day, Why, I 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 winter time, we'd all get a brand new pair, From a mail-order catalog, money mad from selling a hog, Daddy all ways managed to get the money somewhere. Yeah, 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 tired, I never thought of leavin' 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, nothin' lives here anymore, 'Cept the memories of a coal miner's daughter. |

I've got your picture that you gave to me
And it's signed With Love just like it used to be The only thing different the only thing new I've got your picture she's got you I've got the records that we used to share And they still sound the same as when you were here The only thing different the only thing new I've got the records she's got you I've got your memory or has it got me I really don't know But I know it won't let me be I've got your class ring that proved you'd care And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear The only thing different the only thing new I've got these little things she's got you I've got your memory |

Once I made a promise that I'd never lead you on
But I feel the yearn to love you even though I know it's wrong You'll have to take my hand and lead me slowly through the door I'll be wrong in what I'm doin' I can't refuse you anymore Lead me on and take control of how I feel I can't do this on my own cause it's against my will I need love warm and tender in a way I've never known If you want me I'll go with you but you'll have to lead me on [ steel ] Lead me on and take control... |

I've seen him as he awakens in the morning
He reaches out his hand and without a word As his fingers softly fall upon my face He lights the flame of desire and makes me want him And love is the foundation we lean on All you need is love to ease your mind And does it have to be right to be called love When he gives me more loving Then a lifetime of looking could ever find And love is the foundation we lean on All you need is love to ease your mind And does it have to be right to be called love When he gives me more loving Then a lifetime of looking could ever find |

They say to have her hair done Liz flies all the way to France
And Jackie's seen in a discotheque doin' a brand new dance And the White House social season should be glittering and gay But here in Topeka the rain is a fallin' The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are a bawlin' One of them a toddlin' and one is a crawlin' and one's on the way I'm glad that Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact And Debbie's out in Vegas workin' up a brand new act While the TV's showin' Newlyweds a real fun game to play But here in Topeka the screen door's a bangin' The coffee's boilin' over and the wash needs a hangin' One wants a cookie and one wants a changin' and one's on the way Now what was I doin' Jimmy get away from there darn there goes the phone Hello honey what's that you say you're bringin' a few ole buddies home You're callin' from a barn get away from there No not you honey I was talkin' to the baby wait a minute honey the door bell Honey could you stop at the market and hello hello well I'll be The girls in New York City they all march for women's lib And Better Homes and Gardens shows the modern way to live And the pill may change the world tomorrow but meanwhile today Here in Topeka the flies are a buzzin' The dog is a barkin' and the floor needs a scrubbin' One needs a spankin' and one needs a huggin' Lord one's on the way Oh gee I hope it ain't twins again |

Well, if you've been a married woman
And things didn't seem to work out Divorce is the key to bein' loose and free So you're gonna be talked about. Everybody knows that you've loved once So they think you'll love again You can't have a male friend When you're a has been Of a woman you're rated X. And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal Every man might try to make But I think it's wrong to judge every picture If a cheap camera makes a mistake. And when your best friend's husband says to you You've sure started lookin' good You should've known he would And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X. Well, nobody knows where you're goin' But they sure know where you've been All their thinkin' of is your experience of love Their minds eat up with sin. The women all look at you like you're bad And the men all hope you are But if you go too far you're gonna wear the scar Of a woman rated X. And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal Every man might try to make But I think it's wrong to judge every picture If a cheap camera makes a mistake. And when your best friend's husband says to you You've sure started lookin' good You should've known he would And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X... |

You came from the city streets to my little country town
Your spell is on my baby and you've got me sorrow bound You don't really love him you're playin' around for fun Woman of the world leave my world alone You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong Woman of the world leave my world alone I don't know about the things the bright lights taught to you My country boy don't know them any better than I do I'll have to watch him hurtin' after you are gone Woman of the world leave my world alone You're the devil's woman... |

You left me for the bright lights of the town. A country boy set out to see the world. Remember when those city lights shine down. That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl. I swear I love you, by the moon above you. How bright is it shining in your world? Some morning when you wake up all alone. Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl. Don't wait to bring great riches home to me. I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls. Just bring yourself, you're all I'll ever need. That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl. I swear I love you by the moon above you. How bright is it shinin in your world? Some morning when you wake up all alone. Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl. |
