Loretta wrote this song along with nearly all of her songs. She married Doolittle Lynn at the age of 15 and became a mother within a year. She was a grandma at 34. (My grandmother, married at 12, was a grandmother at 28.)

Loretta Lynn was a country legend & singer song writer who's music has spanned 6 decades. She was also friends with the great late Patsy Cline. Her younger sister Crystal Gayle also is a great singer. She grew up dirt poor & stayed humble & true to her roots. The autobiographical movie "Coal Miner's Daughter" is worth looking at. Sadly we lost Loretta Lynn last year.

That song literally tells the true the story of her childhood. She was an amazing woman. And she never forgot her roots or where she came from. She sponsors and helped young singers her entire life. You HAVE to listen to Fist City. It's a fun one and shows her scrappy side. People used to ask, "Are you more Jolene or Fist City?" Personally, I'm fist city all the way. 🤣

Lorettie, as her family called her, hand picked Cissy Spacek to play her in the movie Coal Miner's Daughter. Cissy sang all of the songs in the movie. Loretta wrote most of her own songs and performed many duets. She and Conway sang You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly.

Loretta Lynn is the only famous person I have ever heard of who prerecorded a video to go out to her fans after her death. She thanks her fans for supporting her and her family and giving them a better life. She also expressed how much she loved each and every fan. She was truly a one-of-a-kind humble soul. Rest in peace, Ms. Loretta.

Thank you for listening. She's my 4th cousin and your appreciation of her art is something I can't thank you enough for. ❤

Legend. They made a movie about Loretta called “Coal Miner’s Daughter”. Sissy Soacek, who played Loretta, did so good she won an Oscar for it.

Not sure about the song facts on your screen but Loretta actually wrote this. This is a bio of her early life. And if you never have you should watch the movie Coal Miners Daughter. It’s about her life and career and is a great movie with a great soundtrack. R.I.P. Loretta.🌹

My mom was a coal miners daughter so we loved this song. She was born in a log cabin in Harlan Co KY during the coal miners war there. My grandfather broke his back twice in the mines and the second time they told him he couldn’t come back so they became sharecroppers until he got enough money to move to Cincinnati to find work. My mom always laughed at this song because she said the people in this song were rich because they had a hog to sell. She said they didn’t have even that. Her dad made them shoes to wear and they would put cardboard in the bottom when holes came through the soles.

Loretta wrote her own songs. They came straight from her life. She taught herself how to play the guitar and writing songs. She had songs banned from main street radio. Such as The Pill. She had the kindest heart. But she never forgot where she came or the fans who supported her. But if you messed around with her husband she'd confront then write a song about you. Like, Fist City or You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man😊

"Coal Miner's Daughter" was entirely written and recorded by singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It is considered Loretta's signature song and was originally released as a single in 1970. It became a number one hit on the Billboard country chart and was later released on an album of the same name.

Yes she had 3 key changes! You really should check out more of her music. Most of the older country is about their lives! That's what made it so great ❤

If you and Ally ever get the chance to watch the movie "Coal Miners Daughter" it will not be a waste of your time. Big name stars in that film based on the true events of Loretta's life.. it is unforgettable and you in turn will forever be a fan and love Ms. Loretta like the rest of us. Side note, your guy Conway Twitty and Loretta were a dynamic singing duo (though never an item) just like George Jones and Tammy Wynette. Thanks for including old school country on this genre journey. Have a blessed weekend!

Speaking from experience, this is a very accurate depiction. My kids, grandkids and I now live in Oklahoma. But my life started out very similarly to this song. I was also born in Kentucky, and my dad was also a coal miner. There were nine kids in my family. We did not have indoor plumbing, so I remember carrying water up from the creek, using an outhouse, seeing my mother wash our clothes outside in a metal tub with a washboard. I remember running around barefoot in the summers and getting new shoes when school started. Our lives changed when I was seven years old and my grandparents convinced my dad to move us to the Detroit area for better work opportunities. Though my dad never became wealthy. My brother still lives on our family property in the middle of Cumberland Gap National Park in Kentucky. We have family reunions there every year, and we all still call it “home”. My kids and my grandson have played in the same creek behind my brother’s house that I played in as a child.

Loretta wrote "Coal Miner's Daughter" and it tells of her life, her parents, her siblings, what life was like but more importantly, the LOVE for a family!!! I love her and her music, I grew up with it. It's REAL COUNTRY music!

All of her songs are stories of her life. She was an amazing lady.

Im very Blessed to have a photo of Loretta she signed for my grandma.

FACT CHECK: Loretta Lynn wrote this song. She was indeed a Coal Miner Daughter. Story of her life

As the granddaughter of a West Virginian Coal Miner, Thank You for covering Miss Loretta Lynn. The song has always been close to my heart!

The First Lady of Country Music

"Old school country" is what my dad introduced me to when I drove him to the Fort for PTSD treatment (a Korean war vet). Loretta Lynn was one of top favorites. This song is one of reasons. He could relate to this so much! This was the story of his parents as well as my mom and him. They definitely all worked hard, the men at humble jobs (grandpa was a farmer and coal miner, Dad a ranch hand and auto mechanic) and the women working to raise numerous kids and the hard work that entails.

I highly recommend finding the movie Coal Miners Daughter. Like the song, it is true and biographical. This is one of my favorites. She does not too long ago! RIP Loretta!

Loretta Lynn 💖 Watch "Coal Miner's Daughter." Her songs are AMAZING! She wrote most of them. 😊 Thank you for sharing this with us.❤

Loretta Lynn was one of my favorite female singers, I’m all country

Loretta Lynn wrote Coal Miner's. Daughter. She's an incredible songwriter! She's a Legend! 24 #1 songs! She said she had 14 songs banned from radio because she wrote and sang about real life. This one is her an autobiographical sing, she wrote a book by the same name, and there was a movie made about life, Coal Miner's Daughter. Great movie. Check out her songs You Ain't Woman Enough, Fist City, Don't Come Home A Drinkin', Blue Kentucky Girl, and her duets with Conway Twitty, You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly and Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man. Happy to see you are listening to Loretta. A lot of us call her The Queen!!

Must reactions "You ain't woman enough h to take my man" and "Don't come home adrinkin' with loving on your mind" Married at 13 and supported the family. She is a true country legend.

You’ve gotta listen to Loretta singing Fist City. She was gangster. She had lots of songs that were banned on the radio. There is a movie starring sissy spacek as Loretta and tommie lee jones as her husband Dew. 🇨🇦🖖🏻

For a lot of us country folk, many of the lines bring back our childhoods. We didn’t have running water until I was 8. I remember flipping through Sears and Roebuck every year. This song always makes me smile.

Beautiful Loretta! Great reaction & analysis! She was an icon. A brutally honest songwriter & fabulous singer. Yes, she for sure is in O.G. She wrote it like she saw it & sang it like she meant it! In her day she was actually controversial, her songs spoke openly about some topics, such as birth control, that were deemed to be inappropriate for main stream radio. Yet those songs rose to the top of the charts anyway! Some of my favorites are You Ain't Woman Enough, Fist City, You're Lookin At Country & I Can't Hear The Music Anymore. Really anything of hers is worth exploring. In an interview with Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes she talked about how the execs at the record company tried to change her to fit into the mainstream, especially the way she talked, but it didn't work. She was a country girl from the hills of Kentucky & that was it. She stayed true to herself. I love & respect that the most about her. RIp sweet Loretta.

Loretta also has a lot of great duets with Conway Twitty, like 'Louisiana woman, Mississippi man' & the fun one 'You're the reason our kids are ugly' to name a few.

I can relate so much to this song. My father worked in a factory, making commercial ovens from stainless steel, in Southeastern Ohio. My parents raised 11 children in some pretty tough financial times. Especially after my father got hurt on the job, lifting a sheet of steel up on the shear table where he would cut the sheets into pieces from the blueprints. He seriously injured his spine and got a double hernia at the same time. He was never able to work after that. However, he did what he could to support his large family. He hunted and trapped furbearing animals so he could sell the pelts. We also raised very large gardens and raised chickens & hogs for food. We didn't always have what we wanted, but for the most part, we had what we needed to survive. My mother let the older siblings babysit the little ones, while she cleaned houses for pay. Us kids worked in the garden and helped with the butchering of hogs in the fall. At one time, we didn't have running water in the house and had to carry our drinking/cooking water from a spring, located about 1/4 mile down over the hill from our house. We would line up and go down to the spring, carrying bleach jugs to carry the water in. The older kids would carry gallon jugs and the younger ones, half gallon jugs. Yes, it was a hard life, But there was more than enough love in our home to carry us through. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Later, after graduating from high school, I enlisted in the US Marine Corps, where I served for 6 years. I was just 5ft 1in tall and 117lbs, but I had the toughness and determination to make it. I went on to have a career as a 9-1-1 dispatcher and even worked in a medium security prison before retiring from the state of West Virginia at the end of 2016. I have been blessed and continue to be, as a gospel music recording artist and I now build custom desktop computers.

Loretta Lynn is and was the Queen of Country Music may she sing with the angels in HEAVEN.

We lost Loretta almost exactly one year ago - October 2022. The roots of country music run to the hills. Music eased a hard life.

Sebs, Try “Fist City” by Loretta! You’ll enjoy it and Ali will too!!

True story of her life. Amazing human being. Glad I got to see her before she passed. She was born not far from where I grew up.

A friend of mine put the essence of this song perfectly. The real unsung heroes in this world are the men and women who get up everyday and go out do a job that hate to provide for their families without complaint because they love.

Loretta was and always will be a national treasure. Don’t let that sweet smile and angelic voice fool you though, the lady had fire in her soul. Her husband was both a drunk and a womanizer (she always stood by him), and she wrote several songs about it, most notable You Ain’t Woman Enough (a must listen) and Don’t Come Home a-Drinkin. In 1975 as the birth control pill was being introduced, and ladies were discovering they could be more than wifes and mothers, she wrote and recorded the song The Pill, it was scandalous at the time and banned from being played on most radio stations yet still became a hit and the anthem for many ladies during that time.

One of Loretta Lynn's younger sisters is named Crystal Gayle! A talented beauty! With gorgeous hair that hits the floor! She has a lot of hits but my fav is Don't it Make my Brown Eyes Blue!!

My wife is , and has been the greatest mother, grandmother in the world. She does without so others may have!

Loretta write this song, I believe she wrote all her songs. You should watch the movie “Coal Miners Daughter”, it is her life story. Great reaction.

I’ve shared this story on several different accounts but it’s worth sharing again. I took my daughters to see her in concert & she was just amazing!! Her daughter opened the show for her & then she came out wearing one of her beautiful big ball gowns. She recently had hip surgery so she sat the whole show & took request all evening. My daughter was thrilled when she sang her request & allowed her to stand by the stage & sing with her. After the show was over her daughter allowed some of her fans on the bus. My daughters were lucky enough to go on, get a signed set of her CDs & a pic with her. Even after she became super famous she still remained so down to earth!! We lost an amazing lady when she passed away.

R.I.P. Queen Loretta 👸

Loretta Lynn is the Best !!! The movie Coal Miner's Daughter, on her life, I believe won a Academy Award.

My grandad worked with Loretta's husband before she made it big, when they lived in Washington State. I wish I'd been able to meet her, she was an amazing woman.

She is one of the first women of country music. She grew up in Kentucky, got married at 15 and had 6 children and has won numerous awards. RIP Loretta. Another country artist I think you guys would like is Barbara Mandrell. She had a solo career and also had a variety show with her 2 sisters in the early 80s. Check out "I was country when country wasn't cool", "Sleeping single in a double Bed" and "IF LOVING YOU is wrong, I don't want to be right."

As a Kentuckian, we are often stereotyped especially people from the Mountains, and I think this song not only praised her parents, but made it very clear that she was not embarrassed, or ashamed of where she came from. Adversity forges a fine people.

Loretta is the real deal. Country to her bones, and it was a real hard scrabble life for her family. I’d be surprised if she didn’t write this. She wrote almost all of her songs. Love Loretta!!

When I was a kid I spent my Summers in Gretel Kentucky just the stone throw away from butcher's holler My mother went to school with her and Crystal Great reaction country on

My husband met Loretta Lynn in the Philippines when he was playing backup bass for Freddy Fender. They were all part of a big USO tour and he had many memorable moments but, the thing he treasured most was meeting Lorettie. He said she was the kindest person he'd ever met.

Loretta was one of OG of outlaw country. She sang songs about life. Including fighting other women for her husband, taking the "Pill" when NO ONE spoke about those things at that time.

Coal Miner's Daughter" is a song written and recorded by Loretta Lynn. Considered Lynn's signature song, it was originally released as a single in 1970 and became a number one hit on the Billboard country chart. It was later released on an album of the same name.

This is a classic old-school country! It is a tribute to a father who worked his backsides off to support a family in the old days down in Coal Country and how tough life was in general. These people didn't have any modern conveniences such as electricity, running water, used coal for heating, and earning amounts of money we couldn't believe by today's standards. I don't know if our generation could make it like this today. It's no wonder these guys passed on in their early sixties - they were worn out. And of course, the Mom's had it rough too - washing clothes by hand and cooking on coal stoves. Loretta Lynn is one of the best ever.

Now you need to watch the movie with the same name . It is great!! Sissy Spacek plays Loretta and she does a wonderful job. Loretta had a sense of humor and Sissy captured that several times in the movie. Any song you pick of Loretta's will be a winner, trust me.

My children are 21 and 28 and I can tell you that how you do it is the thing that matters most. Oh, and remember, children spell love T I M E, so give all you can, eve if it interferes with what you think is important. Great reaction to a great woman.

I remember when I was a little girl and the movie Coal miner’s Daughter opened in nashville and Loretta was there! It was the story of her life.

I grew up on country music. She is #1!!! So many great songs, do some more!

Watch the movie!!! My family is from West Virginia. She at 13 was put into an unknown world. It's a great movie. Saw it when I was 8. now at 44, I would have been frightened. She overcame obstacles

Great voice, stage presence and telling her story by song. A legend.

There's a young man singing country, he wrote a some called "coal keeps the lights on" check it out. Coal miners are such hard workers and unappreciated. Bless them all.

When I was a teenager, I worked taking tickets and ushering at Rupp Arena, in Lexington, Kentucky, from 1977 to 1980. The University of Kentucky plays basketball there, and in the 1970s, there were a lot of concerts at that venue. When Loretta Lynn and her performing partner, Conway Twitty had a concert there, the entire population of Butcher Holler, Kentucky showed up. After the concert, Loretta and Conway sat on the stage and signed autographs and took pictures for over 2 hours. They must have been exhausted, but I have never seen two more gracious performers and they would not leave until every single audience member was satisfied.

I'm a proud coal miners daughter! Daddy moved us to Detroit in 1964 when he left the mines of WVA for the assembly line at Chrysler, Jefferson assembly. Mom and Daddy have long ago passed but my pride and love for them will remain in my heart until I draw my last breath! PS, when the movie, Coal Miners Daughter was released, I took my Mom to see it. Needless to say, she loved it. It told her story too!

I love Loretta's funny songs. Fist City. You Ain't Woman Enough. One's on the Way. The Pill. She was a great writer and a feminist in her own way. In this song (which she wrote) I love the way she rhymes "hard" and "tired."

Fist City is the one that needs to go on your playlist!

I'm 63 now when I wad a kid my whole room had pictures of Loretta Lynn loved her then love her now

Fist City, You Ain’t Woman Enough, The Pill, Don’t Come Home Drinkin with Lovin on Your Mind. All of these are a MUST.

Her little sister Crystal Gale is absolutely gorgeous, and is also a great singer. Please react to her song...Somebody Loves You.

Mom's & dad's were so tough back then. Check out her sister, Crystal Gale. Also impressive in the real old country style. God bless to Ms Lynn. A true county lady legend!! Not to many ladies in county music back then. A few more now but . . .

YES! You need to go down that rabbit hole! You won't be disappointed! The Queen of country! All the songs she wrote and sang are about her life and marriage. She kept it real. She was country gangsta. You will understand when you hear her stories/songs.

What a fantastic reaction. Loretta was an amazing performer. You should watch the movie based on her life. Coal Miners Daughter.

Not only was it a beautiful song but it's a true story they say you can go back there and see where she grew up one day I'd love to do that God this song makes me cry every time😢

Loretta Lynn was my Mom's all time favorite singer!

Loretta WAS and IS the legend of country music for women!! She paved the way for SO many others today!! RIP Loretta

This song brings back so many memories. My daddy was a coal miner and raised 7 kids on a miner’s pay. It was a hard life. Makes me so thankful that my parents got to enjoy some of the modern convinces before they passed away, that we now take for granted.

My mother an aunt got to tour her house and take pictures with her they said she was the most down to earth person they ever met and the sweetest wish I would've gotten to meet her only thing I got to do was tour her hurricane mills it was beautiful❤

She was a grand lady. Saw her many times in person. What a gift to country.

Loretta wrote this song herself. Catch the movie of the same title. She was an amazing woman with an amazing life. In her latter years she held a giant motocross event on her place in Tennessee. She was the real, genuine article.

You wanted to know who she was, this is Loretta Lynn!❤❤❤❤❤

One of my favorite movies of all time is "Coal Miner's daughter" with Sissy Spacek... It is Loretta Lynn's life story and it's a wonderful movie

I was on her ranch for the 4th of July celebration two or three summers before she passed and she came to the stage to talk to the crowd a bit and she sang a part of this song. IT WAS AMAZING! She lived on her ranch until she passed. Her granddaughter and Conway Twitty's grandson have a duo now, and they honor their grandparents.

I love her. I live about 30 minutes from Butcher Holler, where she grew up.

Loretta wrote this, as she wrote most of her songs. I agree with others here, the movie Coal Miners Daughter is great, and the soundtrack too. I grew up with my parents listening to old country and western, such as Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, Johnny Horton, etc.

Some of my favorites from Loretta Lynn's song list: "You Ain't Woman Enough" "Don't Come Home a Drinking" "Fist City" "You're Looking at Country" "One's on the Way" "The Pill" "Honky Tonk Girl" Repeating what others wrote; See the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter" based on her life and see these songs in the context of how she lived her life; Sissy Spacek is stellar in the title role. It co-stars Tommy Lee Jones and, as much as I love him, a highlight for me is Levon Helm who plays her father. An awesome Hall of Fame musician who sang and played the drums with The Band. He also had roles in other films; I remember him mostly in "The Right Stuff"

Loretta has so many fantastic songs, but far and away what I always recommend listening to is "The Pill" - for those of us who have lived always being able to control our reproductive choices, it's a testament to how massive a change it was for women when medical birth control was legalized.

Boy she looks terrific in that performance.

You really need to listen to Lorretta sing YOU AINT WOMAN ENOUGH TO TAKE MY MAN.THANKS FOR CHECKING HER OUT❤❤

Great reaction sir! You and Ali should consider watching the movie "Coal Miners Daughter" starring Sissy Spacek on one of your Thursday livestreams. Hopefully that will avoid any copyright issues. Spacek won the Academy Award for the role in 1980 in a very well deserved win. It is such an amazing story of a life of struggle sustained by music and faith. I think it will really speak to you. You must have this posted somewhere but how does someone sponsor a video for the channel? I have a video in mind for your reaction that is a live performance that will raise your appreciation of Karen Carpenter and The Carpenters (both) as musicians filmed live. And cherry on top you will get a great introduction to the songwriting genius of Burt Bacharach.

Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Anne Murray, Reba, Dolly, ... And so many more legends... Love them!

My granddaddy worked with Loretta's daddy in the Van Lear coal mine. She is my 3rd cousin. RIP Loretta

'Van Lear Rose' by Loretta is beautiful. It's about her momma. Jack White sang it in tribute to her at the CMT awards show. He nailed it. 😊

It's about time you watched some of Miss Loretta. She's one of the biggest legend's of all time. And the songs we wrote - all about real women's issues just when women weren't supposed to talk about. And one of the most down to home people you'd ever meet. The movie about her life starred Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones (they did their own singing!!) was incredible. Miss Loretta's catalogue in one I could spend days singing along to. One of her later records Van Lear Rose was done with Jack White of the White Stripes - it's epic. Can't hit a wrong note with Miss Loretta.

My mother lived like that. She had 14 brothers and sisters. They all was very close. They are all gone now. I miss them so much!

Loretta was definitely a legend she had the voice of an angel. She passed last year at the age of 90. ❤

The Pill( banned from radio), Fist City, You Ain't Woman Enough, and so many more. You need to watch the movie Coal Miner's Daughter.

"Coal Miner's Daughter" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It's a story of Loretta's life growing up.

Loved Loretta, listen to Patsy Cline, she is wonderful too. She was one of Loretta's best friends before dying in a plane crash in her 30's.

Up till her death she still referred to her mother as mommy

You should check out her songs YOU AIN'T WOMAN ENOUGH and FIST CITY. She was AMAZING - feisty and had a great sense of humor. A true legend!

Such a beautiful song she wrote it for her parents and I loved your reaction to it.

Saw her in concert in the mid 70's. She was amazing.

another great song similar, as during this time it was popular for country singers to tell their own personal life story in a song....is Dottie West's COUNTRY SUNSHINE (she was the first country female singer to win a Grammy )
