歌词
Well I was born a coal miner's daughter
我是一个矿工的女儿
生在Butcher Holler（地名儿）山上的小屋里
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
我们穷，却深爱着
有件事儿
We were poor but we had love
是爸爸确很明确的
他挖矿赚工资
That's the one thing
从一个贫寒的人那儿
That daddy made sure of
我爸爸一挖就是整晚
在范李尔的矿地上
He shoveled coal to make
全天就只在田里吃玉米
A poor man's dollar
妈妈在夜里轻摇着婴儿
在煤油灯下读着圣经
My daddy worked all night
破晓的那一刻
In the Van Lear coal mine
一切都会重新开始
爸爸深爱并养育着八个孩子
All day long in the field a-hoin' corn
以他矿工的薪水
妈妈每天在搓板上
Mommy rocked the babies at night
为我们洗衣服
为何我看到了她手指尖已磨出血
And read the Bible by the coal oil light
却从不抱怨
只是微笑着
And ever'thing would start
善解人意的微笑着
All over come break of morn'
在夏日里
我们没有鞋穿
Daddy loved and raised eight kids
可冬日里
On a miner's pay
我们都会得到一双崭新的鞋子
从邮购那儿得来
Mommy scrubbed our clothes
钱是卖猪换来的
On a washboard ever' day
爸爸总是努力
从某处赚到钱
Why I've seen her fingers bleed
对，我很骄傲
自己是一名矿工的女儿
To complain there was no need
我清楚的记得
我取水的那口井
She'd smile in Mommy's
我们曾艰难的打水
Understanding way
到夜晚我们呼呼大睡
只因太劳累
In the summertime
我从未想到过会离开
We didn't have shoes to wear
Butcher Holler（地名儿）
唉，打那会儿起
But in the wintertime
很多事都已改变了
We'd all get a brand new pair
再次回到家里时如此开心
可留下的也就只剩下地板了
From a mail order catalog
这里再也没有什么了
除了那回忆
Money made from sellin' a hog
一个矿工女儿的回忆
Daddy always 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 ever leaving
Butcher Holler
Well alot 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
