Coal Miner's Daughter
Well I was born the 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 daddy made sure of He shovel coal to make a poor man's dollar My daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine all day long in the field hoein' corn Mommie rocked the baby that night and read the Bible by the coal oil light And everything would start all over come break of morn Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay Mommie scrubbed our clothes on a washboard everyday Why I've seen her fingers bleed to complain there was no need She's smiled in mommie'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 by selling a hog 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 I'd ever leave the Butcher Holler But a lots of things have changed since the way back then And it's so good to be back home again Not much left but the floor nothing lives there anymore Just the mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter Louisianna Woman, Mississippi Man

You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)
You've come to tell me something you say I ought to know That he don't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go You say you're gonna take him oh but I don't think you can Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man Women like you they're a dime a dozen you can buy 'em anywhere For you to get to him I'd have to move over and I'm gonna stand right here It'll be over my dead body so get out while you can Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man Sometimes a man start lookin' at things that he don't need He took a second look at you but he's in love with me Well I don't know where they leave you oh but I know where I'll stand And you ain't woman enough to take my man Women like you they're a dime... No you ain't woman enough to take my man I Fall to Pieces
I fall to pieces Each time I see you again I fall to pieces How can I be just your friend? You want me to act Like we've never kissed You want me to forget Pretend we've never met And I've tried, Lord I've tried But I haven't yet You walk by and I fall to pieces You tell me To find someone else to love Someone who'll love me too The way you used to do But each time I go out With someone new You walk by and I fall to pieces You walk by and I fall to pieces Your Cheatin' Heart
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep You'll try and try and try to sleep But sleep won't come the whole night through Your cheatin' heart will tell on you When tears come down like falling rain You'll toss around and call my name You're gonna walk the floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you When tears come down like falling rain You'll toss around and call my name You're gonna walk the floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you Your cheatin' heart will tell on you |
