The couple married when Loretta was barely 14. But that was before she met Oliver Lynn (aka Doolittle or Doo, or "Mooney" for moonshine), a handsome 21-year-old fresh from the service who swept the young Loretta Webb off her feet. As she also notes in that song, "I never thought of leavin' Butcher Holler". Just as she would later sing in "Coal Miner's Daughter," Loretta's family eked out a living during the Depression on the "poor man's dollar" her father managed to earn "working all night in the Van Leer coal mine all day long in the field a-hoein' corn". Loretta was born in Butcher Holler, Kentucky, the second of Clara and Ted Webb's eight children.
