Quotes
“She was my closest friend. She was the one person, other than my husband, I could turn to in a crisis. There was a lot of resentment when I first came to town. But Patsy was strong-willed and always taking up for me. If it hadn't been for her, I don't think I would have lasted.”
— On Patsy Cline, as quoted in Country Weekly (6 December 2002)
“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 that daddy made sure of He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar.”
— "Coal Miner's Daughter"; recorded on 1 October 1969, and first released as a single 5 October 1970 · Performance in Nashville, Tennessee (14 April 1971) · Performance on The Ed Sullivan Show (30 May 1971) · Official recitation video (2021)
“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.”
— "Coal Miner's Daughter"
