Nacida en los bosques de Butcher Hollow en 1935, la cantante country Loretta Lynn se convirtió en un icono de la música folk americana en 1981. Esto ocurrió cuando una película basada en la biografía de Lynn, "Coal Miner’s Daughter", llenó teatros y le valió a la actriz Sissy Spacek un Oscar. Durante 2 décadas, Lynn fue una habitual de las listas country, logrando un éxito tras otro y orientando sus letras hacia un universo femenino con temas como "Don't Come Home a Drinkin", "Fist City" y "Woman of the World".

DGD Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter EA7 In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler D We were poor, but we had love GD That's the one thing that daddy made sure of A7D 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'.
EbG#Eb Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay FBb 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 BbEb 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.
EAE 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 AE At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired BE 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
