Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: songs by Loretta Lynn From: GUEST,Felipa Date: 16 Apr 22 - 06:35 PM funny you should mention Jolene, Frank Hamilton. When I saw the lyrics of "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man", I thought "that's a better song than Jolene!" I do like the melody of Jolene, however, and there is nothing special about the melody of the Loretta Lynn song,"You ain't woman enough ..." |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: songs by Loretta Lynn From: GUEST,Frank Hamilton Date: 16 Apr 22 - 05:59 PM He Stopped Lovin' Her Today, Lucille, and Jolene are expertly written country songs. The ability to paint pictures with few words is a gift that is evidenced by the above lyrics of Loretta. I give credit to A.P. Carter and Woody Guthrie for this ability. Country music recycles melodies from earlier traditional sources and they are the vehicles for new forms of basic lyrics found in Country. Definitely part of a "folk process". |

Subject: ADD: Coal Miner's Daughter (from Loretta Lynn) From: Joe Offer Date: 15 Apr 22 - 01:09 AM Date: 2/19/97; 10:17:35 AM From: ah827@rgfn.epcc.Edu (Gene L. Graham) Subject: COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER Words and music by Loretta Lynn [D] Well, I was born a [G] coal miner's [D] daughter In a cabin on a [E] hill in Butcher [A7] Holler We were [D] poor, but we had love That's the [G] one thing that daddy made [D] sure of He shoveled coal to [A7] make a poor man's [D] 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'. Change to Eb: Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay Mommie scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever' day Why, I've seen her fingers bleed To complain there was no need She'd smile 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 from sellin' a hog Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere. Change to E: 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, 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. |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: songs by Loretta Lynn From: Joe Offer Date: 15 Apr 22 - 01:08 AM There were some lyrics to Loretta Lynn songs at Cowpie, http://www.roughstock.com/cowpie/songs/songs.html/l/lynn_loretta There gone now, so I got what I could find in an archive of the Cowpie Website. I just copy-pasted these from the Cowpie archive, so I won't guarantee the accuracy of the lyrics. I spend my time on folk music, not commercial stuff. Many of these songs were transcribed by my friend Gene Graham, and his work is quite accurate. |
