Hi, Daddy. Look at your
knee. Daddy, why don't you
wear your knee pad?

Oh, Loretty,
that old shaft's so low,

you wear your knee pads,
you skin your back.

If you don't wear 'em,
you skin your knees.

I'll wear 'em tomorrow
and give my back a turn.

DOOLITTLE: Boys,
there ain't no place
this thing can't take me.

There ain't
a creek she can't ford,
a gully she can't jump

or a hill she can't climb.

By God, I know a thing
that you can't climb.

That heap of red dog
back yonder.

Oh, hell, buddy,
I can climb that damn mess

in a by-God
New York minute.

MAN 1: Shit!
Hey!

You boys watch your language
in front of these kids.

All right, does anybody
wanna bet me I can't
climb that mess up there?

MAN 2: That great
pile up there?

Hell, yes, buddy!
I can ride up
there at the top...

Oh, I'm sorry, little girl.
Excuse me.
(MINERS CHUCKLING)

MAN 3: Never done.
Can't be done.

I got me $25 that

Does anybody wanna bet me?

(MINERS CHATTERING

(MINERS CONTINUE

Hi, Ted.
Hey, Carl.

Who's that
soldier boy out there

strutting around
like a banty rooster?

It's old man Red Lynn's
boy. Doolittle.

Come back from the army
acting like a wild heathen.

He'll calm down
as soon as they slap
a coal shovel in his hand.

Yeah.

That Sears Roebuck

Yeah, I'll get it for you.

All right.

Loretty, get you

Great!

(MINERS SHOUTING)

(MINERS JEERING)

MINER: Get your mule, son.

Hey, Cousin Ted,

It's a sure thing.

OI' Doolittle will

(MINERS CONTINUE SHOUTING)

(MINERS CHEERING)

Lord have mercy,
that son of a gun Doolittle

don't know what

He sure went to
a lot of trouble

to get on top of
a pile of junk.

Come on, Herman.

BOY 1: Mommy, Daddy's home!

BOY 2: What you got
in that box?

TED: Something special.
Don't open it
till we get inside.

(CHILDREN CLAMORING)

Y'all get washed up
before you come in.

Y'all hear your Mama?
Everybody go wash now.
Come on.

Lee Dollarhide?

Come on in here, Doo.
I was just about
to blast you one.

Old boy down at the store
said you wanted to see me.

Here, take you a sip.

TED: Okay, fellas.

Donald Ray.

Thanks, Daddy.

Jack, well...
Hand that to brother Jack.

Thank you.

CLARA: Take the baby, Jack.

TED: How do they feel, gang?

Daddy,
Peggy got two right feet.

TED: What?

I mean, two right shoes.

TED: I'll be darned.
Don't worry.
We'll get 'em changed.

Daddy.

Hey, how come she gets
something extra?

Jack, Loretta's
getting to be a woman.
Going on 14.

Women's 'sposed to
have pretty things.

Oh, she ain't no woman.
She ain't nothing
but a dad-burned kid.

(LAUGHS)

Well, what are you, Herman?

(ALL LAUGHING)
(DOOR SLAMS)

Remember when
you used to work for me,

sell my goods
down at the mine?

Yeah, I remember you used
to pay me a nickel
for every jug I sold.

How'd you like to
come back to work for me?

(CHUCKLES)
Not for no nickel a jug!

I'm talking about
real money, Doo.

Business is good, you see.
I'm selling more
whiskey than I can make.

But I heard you'd
been stealing some

from the boys
over in Greasy Creek.

Oh, just when
I run shy of my own.

I'm fixing to
make me another run
on Greasy Creek, Doo.

You got that jeep.

You know how to use a gun
and you can use you a job.

I'll go 50-50 with you.

Doo, if you're
born in the mountains,
you got three choices,

coal mine, moonshine
or moving on down the line.

I can't sleep a wink,

Herman, get your feet off!

Turn the radio off.
We can't afford
no new batteries.

You got one of
your bad headaches
again, Daddy?

Ted, you want me
to mix you up
some medicine?

It don't do no good.
It'll pass.

What you see in
them grounds, Mommy?

TED: Loretty,
take the baby, hon.

I see a woman crying.
Looks to me like
a man crying, too.

Who are they?

TED: Loretty.

(GRUNTS)

LORETTA: What are they
crying about, Mommy?

Take the baby out
and rock her, Loretty.

Bad times is a-coming.

Well, we don't
need no fortune-teller
to know that.

(SINGING)
In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun never shines

And I shiver
when the cold wind blows

The longest train

I ever saw

Was on that Georgia line

The purtiest boy

I ever saw

Was on that caboose behind

In the pines...

(GUNSHOT)
(GRUNTS)

Good thing you wasn't
still working for him, son.

You'd be laying there
aside him.

I know that, Daddy.

Course if you had have
been working for him,

at least you'd have
been working somewhere.

Preacher Banks was
supposed to be here to
auction off these pies.

And he's sick and I...

I sure can't take no
time to auction no pies.

Besides, if these girls want
to eat pies with a boy,

they'll do it
whether there's
an auction or not.

(GROANS)

Say, lady, I'll auction
off them pies for you.

You will?
I sure will.

Six bits?
Got six bits right there.
Who's gonna bid a dollar?

MAN: I will!

All right, now we got
a dollar right here, now.

It's a dollar one time.
Boys, that's a dollar twice.

That's sold,
right there, for a dollar.
(CHEERING)

Give me that
dollar right there.

Thank you.

All right, you all
got one more pie left.

It's a chocolate pie
here, belong to

Loretta Webb.

Who's gonna bid first?

I bid two bits.

DOOLITTLE: Two bits?
Buddy, that's an insult!

Who's gonna start off
with a dollar? Who'll
give me a dollar, now?

(INDISTINCT MURMURING)

I guess I get it, then.

Heck,
I'll bid a dollar, buddy.

You're the auctioneer.
You ain't supposed to bid.

Oh, all right,
that's a dollar once,
that's a dollar twice...

Hey, a dollar and a dime.

Three dollars.

That ain't fair,
he's cheating!
(CROWD MURMURING)

All right,
that's $3 once, $3 twice...

Three and a dime.

$3.75.

$3.77.

And when that

Swing her high

Swing your partner, do-si-do

Takes that lamb and

Takes that pretty

(SPITTING)

Make a lot of
chocolate pies, Loretta?

Not too many,
except this one.

(COUGHS)

How much salt did
that recipe call for?

You don't put no
salt in a chocolate pie.
You just put in sugar and...

Well, you must have got 'em
mixed up, Loretta.

Makes a lot of sense,
though. The salt and
sugar's both white.

(CROWD CLAPPING RHYTHMICALLY)

Well, there ain't
no sense in walking
when you can ride. Come on!

I ain't gettin'
in that thing.

You ain't never rode
in a car before, have you?

That ain't no car.
Looks like
something from Mars.

Mars? Gal,
what the hell do you know
about Mars anyway?

I'll bet you
ain't never been past
the mouth of this hollow.

Come on now,
get in this thing.

I said I ain't
gettin' in it
and I ain't!

If you like me so much,
you can walk me home.

Oh, Lord, them pies
ain't the only thing
salty about you, are they?

Wait a minute!
Wait, we'll walk it, then.
Wait!

You know, the first
time I ever seen you
I said,

"Me and that little ol' gal's
gonna get together."

I saw you, too,
in that little soldier suit.

I thought you
looked just like
a little toy soldier.

Hey, now, you listen here,
I went ashore over
yonder at D-day plus four

and I stayed in
combat until the day
the damn thing was over.

I wasn't no
little ol' toy soldier.

You know what
D-day is, don't you?

(CHUCKLES)

What?
Never mind.

Tell you one thing
that army showed me.

There's a whole
big world out yonder.

Showed me I ain't
about to spend my life

buried in no
coal mine, neither.

Ain't no future in it,
not a damn bit.

And that's what I'm
interested in, mainly,
course, is the future.

You got any
plans for the future?

Not that I know of.

You sure cuss a lot,
don't ya?

Yeah, I do.

Cuss, drink,
chase wild women.

What? What are you doing?

I'm gonna kiss you
good night. Ain't you ever
been kissed before? Huh?

Hey, Loretta?

I'm gonna bring
my jeep up here
and take you for a ride.

You ain't gonna get
that thing up this holler.

There ain't
nothing I can't do, girl,
once I set my mind to it.

Don't you know he'd
rather cut off his arm

than have to

What you mean
running off like that
with that wild boy?

I love him, Mommy.

You do no such a thing.

Stay away from that
Doolittle Lynn

or I'll give you worse than
what your Daddy did.

I'll go make you up
some salve for your legs.

Loretty, you know
I don't like to boss you,
but I got to now, honey.

Daddy, I...

Just let me talk.

Doolittle's been
up the house
every day this week.

I don't want him
hanging around no more.

Why?

'Cause you ain't
got no business
hanging around with him.

You're just a little girl,
he's a grown-up man,

wild as the devil.

I love him, Daddy.

And he's a-wanting me
to marry him.

You ain't even 14 yet.

Y'all ain't knowed
each other a month.

I know. But I love him.

Lord, Lord,
don't do it, Loretty.

Don't throw all
them young years away.

You're my pride, girl.

You know what tomorrow is?
It's our anniversary.

Get a little closer.
(IMITATES KISSING)

Herman, I'm gonna kill you!

What were you saying, Doo?

I was saying that tomorrow
is our anniversary.

I figured that'd be
a good day for you

especially since
I got all that money.

Go ask Daddy.

Go ask Clary.

Mrs. Webb, uh, me...

Me and Loretty was thinking

Tomorrow.

Go ask Ted.

HERMAN: (IMITATES KISSING)
Where's lover boy?

Doolittle,

Hell, Ted said to ask Clary

Ted and... I don't know.

Come on and sit down.

Wait'll they go to bed,
then you can
catch them together,

else they'll keep you
running back and forth
all night long.

Mr. And Mrs. Webb?

I know everything's
happened real fast.

I know she's young,
I know how much
y'all love her,

but the deal is
I love her, too.

Just as much as you do.

I growed up real fast,
I seen a lot of the world.

I want you to know
first time I seen that girl

I said, "That's all I'm ever
gonna want out of life."

And I promise you

I'm gonna break my back
working to make her happy.

I reckon y'all set on it
no matter what we say.

I don't wanna go
against y'all, Mrs. Webb,

but, yes,
I'm really set on it.

Two things I want
you to promise me, boy.

Don't you never hit her

and don't take her off
far away from home.

Yes, sir.
I promise you that.

Wilt thou love her,
comfort her,

honor and keep her
in sickness and in health

and forsaking all other,
keep thee only unto her

so long as
you both shall live?

I will.

And, Loretta,
wilt thou have this man
to be thy wedded husband,

to live together
in the holy estate
of matrimony?

Wilt thou love him,
comfort him,

honor and keep him
in sickness and in health

and forsaking all other,
keep thee only unto him

so long as
you both shall live?

Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, I will.

Who giveth this woman
to be married to this man?

I do.

Please join right hands.

The wedding ring is
an outward and visible sign

of an inward
and spiritual grace

signifying unto
all the uniting

of this man and this
woman in holy matrimony.

Do you two have rings?

DOOLITTLE: I ain't got
no ring, Judge.

I'm freezing, Doo.

(LAUGHS)

Get on in there and
take off everything,
but your nightgown now.

(WHISPERS) Go on, Loretty.

Go on!

Move. Go on, now.

(SIGHS)

Get off.

Don't do that.
Don't! Doo, no!

It's just a little rough
the first time, Loretty,
is all.

Don't worry about that.
Come on, baby.

Don't, Doo. No!

Hush, Loretty.

No, Doo!

No! No.

(CRIES OUT)

This stuff's cold.

It's because it
froze between here
and the damn restaurant.

You want a hot breakfast,
you got to go with me.

I ain't going in there
having all them people
looking at me

knowing what we've
been doing in here.

Hell's bells, Loretta,
do you think
this is something

the rest of the world
ain't caught on to yet?

They don't give a damn.

Baby, it's just
a little rough the
first time, that's all.

Didn't seem too rough
on you.

Well, you better get
used to it, darling,

because that's what
a damn marriage...

I ain't gonna get used
to you getting on me and

Look at this one. Look.

That dadgum word
is a foot long.

Now, what's a foot-long word
supposed to mean, huh?
(GROANING)

Oh, Doo, I don't need no book
to tell me what's wrong.

You just need to be
a little more patient

and gentle with me,
honey, that's all.

I just need
a little more time.

Give you a little more time.

Well, let me add up
all these damn things

I'm supposed to give
you some more time on.

You need a little more time
to learn how to cook.

You need a little more time
to learn how to
clean the damn house.

Plus you need
a little more time to learn

how to love your man
the way you're supposed to.

Goddamn, is there
anything that you know
how to do right now?

Doo, when you gonna get me

to save you from
ruining your life.

Loretty, you home!

Mmm!

I believe married life's
making you fat, girl.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, no.

GIRL: F, O, D...

The last time I seen you

I was giving you kids
a shot for the measles.

Here you are

How do you like it?

Except me and Doo

Hey, Doolittle,

Good day, isn't it?

It sure is.

What have you been doing?

No, not a hell of a lot.
Working too goddamn hard.
What about you?

Hey, Doolittle Lynn.

Who's that sow

What did you call me?

A sow.
That's a woman pig.

I was just fixing

Was you gonna bring

Oh, hell,

She just flagged me down.

I got something
to tell you, girl.

Yeah, I got something
to tell you, too.

Loretta,
I am leaving Kentucky.

I'm going out west
to Washington

to get me a job on
a ranch or something.

That damned ol' coal mine's
got me buried alive.

Was you just gonna leave me?

Just long enough
to get the money
to send for you.

What makes you think
I'd come?

'Cause you're
my wife, darling.

I'm your wife!
Boy, you better think
of a better reason than that.

There ain't nothing for me
in Kentucky, Loretta.

Except a chest
full of coal dust

and being an old man
time I'm 40.

You ask your daddy.

'Sides that,
you got to come with me,
I love you.

You promised Daddy
you wouldn't take me
off far from home.

Well, you just have to
make up your mind, darling,

whether or not you're
his daughter or my wife.

Get in. I'll take
you back to the house.

What are you doing
in the bottom anyhow?

I come to see Doc Turner.

You sick?

Yeah, I'm gonna have a baby.

(LAUGHING)

Oh, Lord, Loretta.

You know, darlin',
you might have
found something

that you know how to do.

(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

It's from Doo, Daddy!

He sent me the money
to come to Washington.

Well, she's late.
Reckon she might
have jumped the tracks.

Oh, Daddy,
them things don't
do that. Do they?

They've been known to.

Get up here.
Let's see what you weigh.

117?

Boy, Daddy, this
baby's gonna be a big one,
ain't it? You weigh now.

It wouldn't do no good.

I wouldn't know

how much was all that
coal dust I swallowed.

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING)

I ain't never

to win the record

When he let
the Titanic go down

The children were cryin',
"Dear Mother"

Dear Mother has gone to stay

But maybe it'll
turn to somethin'...

Close your eyes, Cissy.

...that'll raise
the Titanic some day

Do-do di-do-do do-do-do...

(WHISPERS) Baby, I was
just thinking, we got
an anniversary coming up,

I was wondering
what kind of anniversary
present you wanted.

Well, I ain't got
no wedding ring yet.

Wedding ring? Bullshit.

Oh, bullshit!

(LAUGHING)
Doo! Jack Benny!

Now, go to sleep, Ernest Ray.
You, too, Jack Benny.

(SIGHS)

Happy anniversary, darlin'.

Yeah, it looks like
you had a happy one.

You know, Doo,
most couples spend
their anniversary together.

(GUITAR STRUMS)
What's that?

That's your
anniversary present, baby.
Happy anniversary.

My anniversary present?
Mmm-hmm.

Doo, sometimes I
think you got a washer
missing in your brain.

I can't play that thing.

Most people can't without
they learn how first.

You're not too
ignorant to learn, are you?

Hell, if you don't want it,
I'll give it to the kids.

They probably
don't want it either,

so I'll put it in
the kindling box.

Give me that.

(SIGHS)

(STRUMS)

What you get me a guitar for?

'Cause I like
the way you sing.

(SIGHS)

Do you really
think I sing good?

(SIGHS) Baby,
I know you do.

Can I have a present, too?

(SINGING) Have I told you
lately that I love you?

Have I...
Could I tell you once again

Somehow?

(CHILDREN CLAMORING)

If you boys knock
Cissy off of this porch
one more time,

I'll have to whup you.

That's right.

No, no

With all my

Heart and soul
how I adore you

Well, darlin',
I'm tellin' you now

You boys stop fighting
and listen to me sing.

(GIGGLING)

This heart would break
in two if you refuse me

I'm no good
without you anyhow

Dear, have I told you
lately that I love you?

Well, darlin',
I'm tellin' you now

Hey, darling,
how about Saturday night

let's get us one
of them babysitters

and go honky-tonkin'?

You mean together?

Yeah, (CHUCKLES)
Together.

Okay.

What are you grinning about?

(CHUCKLING)

(LAUGHING) Doo!

What are you up to?

(CLEARS THROAT)

My Lord.

(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

I'll have one of
them beers, please,
plus one Coca-Cola.

How about a dance, darling?

I can't. I'm married.

You must not be too married,
you ain't wearing no ring.

I bet I know what
this is all about.

Oh, dang, you guessed it.

Wait right here,
I'll be right back.

Hey, buddy!
Hey, buddy, come here.

I got something
sitting right on back
there at that table...

(CONTINUES SPEAKING
INDISTINCTLY)

Come here, darling.
Come here, honey.

(MOUTHING)

I'll be right
with you, Hoss.

Excuse me.

Loretta!

What the hell are
you doing running off
and hiding like a...

Don't make me get
up and sing, Doo.
Please, I'm sick.

Oh, hell, you're not
gonna have to get up
there and sing.

That ol' boy
wouldn't allow it.
Thank the Lord.

You're gonna have
to audition for 'em
in the morning.

I ain't no singer, Doo.
I can't sing for
no strangers.

Yes, you can.
I done fixed
it up for you.

There ain't no problem.
You didn't ask me
nothing about it!

How the hell can I ask you
something about it

if you run off and hide
like a stupid hillbilly?

Don't call me that.
I may be ignorant,
but I ain't stupid.

Why do you want me to sing
so much for anyway?

'Cause I'm proud of
you when you sing.

Doo, I'm glad I
make you proud, honey,

but I can't sing in front
of people. I just can't.

Yes, you can, baby.

You're gonna sing
for these old boys
in here in the morning,

and next week
you're gonna be up
on that stage

singing for
all these people here,

if I have to kick your

ignorant hillbilly ass
every step of the way!

And now, folks, we've got
a special treat for you.

Making her very
first public appearance,

please welcome
The Westerneers'
new girl singer,

Miss Loretta Lynn!

(BAND PLAYING COUNTRY MUSIC)

There he goes

He's walkin' away

And each step he takes

Brings heartache my way

She's won his heart

I lost him someway

There he goes

He's walkin' away

Oh, if I hadn't cheated

And if I hadn't lied

I'd be the one

Who's walkin' by his side

I love him still

And I guess it shows

The way that I feel

As there he goes

Oh, if I hadn't cheated

And if I hadn't lied

I'd be the one

Who's walkin' by his side

I love him still

And I guess it shows

The way that I feel

As there he goes

MAN: You got a big voice.

PENN: How'd you

Would you like to hear
the little lady
sing another one?

Doo, they liked me!

Yeah, baby, they loved you.
They loved you.

They gonna love you

Go on, do another one.
Go on.

LORETTA: (SINGING)
So fill my glass up to the top

(HUMMING)

...star

So fill my glass
up to the rim

(HUMMING)

...him

I've lost
everything in this world

And now
I'm a honky tonk girl

I done wrote myself a song,
Betty Sue.

Your mama's
a dadgum songwriter.

It's a nice song, Mommy.

Thank you.

DOOLITTLE: Deal is, Loretta,
you can sing in every little
honky tonk in the country.

There's thousands doing it

and they ain't
getting nowhere
and they never will.

The thing that's
gonna give you the edge
is getting yourself a record.

And the next step's
even more important
than that

and that's
getting people to play
the dad-burned thing,

but right now
what you and me
have to worry about...

Listen to your daddy.

...is you making
the best doggone
record you can,

it all depends on that,
darling.

Boy, Doo,
I didn't know you knew

so much about
the music business.

I don't.
I'm just figuring it out
as I go along,

listening to people talk.

It's just got three chords.

(HUMMING)

All right, honey,
what are you
gonna sing for us?

She's gonna do a song
that she wrote herself
called Honky Tonk Girl.

Right.
Honey, what key's it in?

Y'all just go right
ahead and play along,

and she'll
follow you just fine.

Go ahead
and y'all just play.

She does talk,
don't she, partner?

I mean, generally people
that can sing can talk.

Oh, she'll talk up a storm
if she feels like it.

All right.

Y'all settle down
here now and be quiet.

Darling, come over here
and sit on my knee.

You'll have a lot
better view, boys.
Sit up here, now.

Sit up big and
listen to your mama.

All right, tape is
rolling, we're ready.
Let's go for take one.

Three, four, one.

(PLAYING UPBEAT
COUNTRY SONG)

(SPEEDY CHUCKLES)

That's all right, that's
all right, don't worry.
We got a lot of tape.

All right, you all,
get ready and set,
and we'll go for take two.

Buddy, could you give
us a minute, please?

Well, sure.

Kids, come along with me.
Come here.

I guess we're
leaving now, so...

DOOLITTLE: Hey,
put that thing back on.

What are you doing in
here with them kids?

Doo? What are you doing?

Darling, I want you to
sing to these babies.

Sing to the babies?

Yes, just like
you was at home.

I'll sit there in
that green chair.

Okay.

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

(PLAYING UPBEAT COUNTRY SONG)

(SINGING)
Ever since you left me
I've done nothin' but wrong

Many nights
I've laid awake and cried

All right, hold it,
everybody. Just
hang on a minute.

Let's take a little break
and let me see if I can
find a few more pickers.

Man, I can't afford
no more pickers.

I done spent every
last penny I had.

As bad as them two are,
what do you want more for?

No, no, I mean more better.
That little lady
sings her hind end off.

(PLAYING UPBEAT COUNTRY SONG)

(SINGING)
Ever since you left me
I've done nothin' but wrong

Many nights
I've laid awake and cried

We were so happy
my heart was in a whirl

Let's go, darlin'.
Let's do this thing now,
I ain't got all day.

Wait a minute,
I ain't got all these
doodads sewed on yet.

Baby, I got to get to work.
Come on, now.

Okay.

It's just gonna be
your head and
shoulders anyhow.

Get up there in
front of the backdrop.

You mean that bedspread?
Yeah.

Oh, wait a minute, Doo!
I ought to put
on some lipstick.

Get back in here.
I like you better natural.
Forget the lipstick.

Slip's all rotten.

Sit down there.

Get up on the back
of the chair, babe.

Up on the back
of the chair?

Yeah.

Oh, that's gonna be pretty.
That's gonna be pretty.

I don't want you ever
wearing no lipstick,

or makeup or none of
that junk, I don't like it.

It ain't right.

All right, here we go now.

Where do you
want me to look?

I want you to
look at heaven, baby.
BETTY SUE: Mama.

Get out of there,
sweetheart, I'm trying
to take your mama's picture.

Get over there
and sit down now.

Thank you, baby.

Smile.

Oh...
(CLICKS)

Beautiful.
That's just beautiful.
That's it, babe.

Put the backdrop
back on the bed.

Are you and Daddy going out
again tonight, Mama?

Yes, honey, I've got
to sing over in Lynden.

Can I go with you?

Oh, no, that's a rough
old honky tonk. You can't
be going over there.

(TYPING)

(YAWNS)

Did you stay up all
night again, honey?

Yeah, darling,
I'll get me a nap later on.

Well, let me fix
you some breakfast.

No, I'll get me
a bite later on, baby.

I got to go now.
You be ready
when I get home.

We gotta drive
all the way to Spokane.

Okay. Bye-bye.

Where's my egg, Mommy?

I'm cooking it

darling.

MAN: Loretty!

MOURNERS: (SINGING)
Amazing grace

How sweet it sounds

MAN: That saved

I seen him just as plain.

You know,

and them grand-young'uns.

MAN: Was blind
but now I see.

Mommy, I shouldn't
have left.

I don't guess he ever
got over me taking her
off from home, Doc.

You did the right thing,
Doo, leaving here.

Well, anyhow,

I reckon.

No, it ain't, Doc,
it ain't never gonna be over.

MOURNERS: (SINGING)
We have already come

Finished widening that trail.

It ain't gonna be

(SIGHS)

Loretta,

Because they don't die.
The real ones just die.

Darlin'...
Like everything else.

Mommy's moving away,
Daddy's gone.

I ain't gonna
have no home left.

You got our home.

Baby.

Get away from me!

Leave me alone.

(ENGINE STARTING)

Loretta, we gotta
decide something.

Most of them radio stations
that we sent records
and pictures to

is right here in
this part of the country.

If we're really
gonna do this thing,

we gotta go see 'em
in person and make sure
they play that record.

I already talked to
your mama and she said
she'd watch the kids for us.

We gotta move right now,
you understand?

Darlin',
if you don't want it,

I ain't gonna make you
do nothing you don't wanna do.

It's your choice.

We'll just go back
to what we was doing,
that's all.

I want it.
What?

I said I want it!

Baby, I can't hear you!

I wanna be a singer, Doo!

I want it real bad.

(SOFTLY) I want it real bad.

Jack, you see that
little row of numbers
right there?

That tells you how many miles
you've gone, and tell
us how far we've been

when we get back here.

I love you.
I'll see you
when we come home.

Go with Grandma.
Come on, girl.

Mommy, I love you.

I love you.

Betty Sue, you take care
of the little ones, okay?

Will you mind Grandma? Okay?

Bye, Jack!
Bye, Ernest Ray! Bye-bye.

I left y'all

Bye-bye!
Bye, Mommy!

Bye, Mommy!

Hurry up, let's go.

What am I supposed

I don't know what to say.

Don't even think about
what you're supposed to say,
darlin', just start talking.

(KNOCK ON WINDOW PANE)

Hey, I'm sorry, folks,
there's no visitors
allowed in the studio.

Uh... Hi, Bobby.
My name's Loretta Lynn

and I sent you a picture
and my newest record
on the Zero label.

Hey, look, no kidding,
you can't be in here
while I'm doing a show, okay?

It's a song I wrote myself,
it's called Honky Tonk Girl.

I got the idea...

I got it and I played it

and it just sorta
laid right there.

So thanks for
coming in, you all.
Bye-bye, now. Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

You're listening
to Tri-State Country

right here till 6:00,
neighbors.

And now here's
a word from our friends
down at Hutchins' Hot Pigs.

(SNORTING)

Tell them all about it,
Hutch, and all of them
little piglets.

You played it, huh?
You ain't even took it
out of the wrapper.

Do you know how many
do-it-yourself records

I get in here every day?

If I played all of 'em,
I wouldn't have time
to play anything else.

Well, why did you lie to us?
Huh?

Why'd you say
they didn't like us?

Doo worked so hard
to get us this record!

Hey, buddy,
get her out of here.
I gotta go back on the air.

I'm sorry, buddy,
there's nothing I can do

once she gets
cranked up like this.

He took the picture, too.

Heck, we got four babies
we had to leave
home with my mommy.

We drove all the way
here, spent every
last dime we had.

Folks, we got a special treat
for you here today,

a young lady who
I predict is gonna go
all the way.

I can't believe it!
I can't believe

you'd do something
so dadgum mean as that!

BOBBY: Tell them
all about yourself, darling.

About myself?

(HONKS)

LORETTA ON RADIO: And then
I sung it for Doolittle.
That's my husband.

Except everybody else calls
him Mooney on account of

he used to sell moonshine
back in Butcher Holler.

Where?
Butcher Holler,

that where
me and Doo's from
back in Kentucky.

Anyway, I wrote the song
and Doo heard it,

and he said, "That's
about the prettiest song
as I ever heard,

"good as Patsy Cline."

I said,
"Oh, ain't nobody sings
as good as Patsy."

BOBBY: Well, let's get
a listen to it, folks,
brand-new on the Zero label,

Miss Lorene Lynn singing...
What?

...Honky Tonk Girl.

It's Loretta Lynn,
not Lorene.

Loretta?
Uh-huh.

(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING

DOOLITTLE: Girl,
you sure got over
being bashful fast.

I just done what you said,
just opened my mouth
and out it come.

I couldn't even stop.

I didn't have
no more notion of

what I was gonna
say than a rabbit.

You keep on being
a rabbit then, darlin'.

Hey, where is the next one?

You want me to watch for

Hell, yes, watch out
for that transmitter.

all kinds of people

and Doolittle,
he's driving...

DJ 2: WMIT in Middlesboro...

LORETTA: Mama's back in
Kentucky taking care of
the four babies.

Bet they're wondering
what's happened
to their mama.

DJ 3: Top Ridge, Tennessee...

LORETTA: I had no idea
where singers got songs
to sing,

so I thought, "Shoot.
I better just
lock myself up in it,

"at least till I get
this music business
figured out."

(LORETTA SINGING ON RADIO)

MAN ON RADIO: (SINGING)
Come fast through the mail

with a satisfied mind...

Doo, can we send

suckers or something?

No, baby, we can't afford it.
We ain't got the money.

Here's your baloney,
48 cents.

I'm getting so
sick of baloney.

You are? Well, you know
what they say about
baloney now, don't you?

What?

Makes you horny.

What's that mean?
(LAUGHING)

Are you so
dad-burned ignorant,

you don't know
what horny means?

No. What does it mean?

(LAUGHING)
Ain't gonna tell you.

Doo!

Doo, what does it mean?

(CONTINUES LAUGHING)

DJ ON RADIO: With all these
months on the road
have you hit Nashville yet?

LORETTA: No, sir,
but I'm dying to.

I'm gonna get on
the Grand Ole Opry, too,
just as soon as I can.

(CHUCKLES) Well, you know,
sometimes you gotta pay

a lot of dues to
get on the Opry.

Pay dues?

Well, for most people
it takes years and years
of hard work.

Still,
from the looks of things,

you're off to
a real good start.

Shoot.
We've been driving so much

I don't even know
where I am half the time.

Oh, it's fun,
though, you know,
we sing and talk

and Doo,
that's my husband,

he'll get to acting horny.
What?

The more I laugh
the hornier he gets.

Loretta, goddamn!

He'll say,
"Loretta, spread me up

"one of them
baloney sandwiches!"

I don't know
where in the hell
you think you are, lady,

but that kind of smut
don't go on in this
part of the country.

I didn't know
it was dirty.

I thought horny
meant cutting up
and acting silly.

Come off that
dumb hillbilly act.

You know, mister,
if you knew Loretta,

you'd know
that ain't no act.

Thank you, Doo.

Yeah, well,
let me tell
you something.

We're gonna be damn lucky
not to lose our
FCC license for this.

And I mean damn lucky!

You know,
I'm gonna tell
you something else,

I ain't never playing
another record of yours on
this radio station! Never!

Goddamn, Loretta.
Don't you ever
stop to think

what the hell
you're saying?

LORETTA: You told me not to!

Wait up!

Don't worry about him, kids.

If you're on the charts,
you're gonna get played.

What charts?

(CHUCKLES)
You got a hit record.
You don't know that?

That really
isn't an act, is it?

Look here,
Cash Box magazine,
came out today.

You're number 14 nationwide.

You really didn't know.

Thank you. Doo!

They'd better let us in,

I can't sleep a wink,

I'm hoping and I'm praying

Walkin' the floor over you

You left me and you went away

You said that
you'd be back in just a day

Are you Loretta Lynn?
Loretta Lynn?

Loretta Lynn?
Loretta Lynn? Loretta Lynn?

You Loretta Lynn?
I've been calling

Now, Mr. Devine
says to put you
on Ernest's show.

Now, you go stand
right over yonder
and keep your eyes on Ernest.

He'll introduce you
if the show ain't
running too long.

What's the matter with you?

I'm scared, Doo.
Scared? Goddamn!

I don't belong here.

You belong here as
much as anybody does.

Now try to quit that
complaining and relax.

I ain't ready.
I ain't paid my
dues to be here.

By God,
we'll pay 'em
later on then.

Where you going?

If there's one thing
I can't stand, Loretta,
it's a nervous damn woman.

Don't leave.

I ain't leaving you,

I'm just going to
get out there and
get me some fresh air!

I'm walkin' the floor over you

I can't sleep a wink,
that is true

Oh, I see.
You're one of the husbands.

Well, I'm one of
the wives, darling.

See you later.

Hey, hey. How about
one fifth wheel buying
another one a drink?

Oh, there she is.
She's on right now,
she's on the radio!

Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy,
could you turn the radio up?

...nothing but wrong

Many nights I've
laid awake and cried

We were so happy

My heart was in a whirl

But now
I'm a honky tonk girl

MAN: Hey, sweet thing!

Sweet thing!

How's that big ol'
ugly husband of yours?

He's out in the alley
trying to sober up
enough to do his show.

Hey, Del, turn
the radio up, will you?

Listen, I'm trying to
hear the radio, you all.
Delmar, turn that thing up!

WOMAN: He's got a wife
on the Opry.
That's right.

Oh, is that right?
Hell, you got it made, man!

All you gotta do is
lay up and count it
as the old lady rakes it in.

Oh, I do my share
of the work, mister.
Delmar, turn it up!

Sure you do, Hoss,
sure you do.

Hey, listen,
I told you all politely,

I'm trying to hear my
wife sing on the radio.

Oh, is that your job?
I mean, she sings
and you listen?

Yeah.
(LAUGHING)

(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)

And now I'm a honky tonk girl

I'll be!

Wonderful.

I ain't got
nothing else planned.

Okay, Loretta Lynn!

She's a doll, I'll tell you.
Thank you, honey.

Doo, did you hear?
They loved me!

Yeah, I heard ya.

And they want me
to come back next week,
can you believe it?

I can believe it, baby.
Now what we gotta do next

is to sit down
and plan real careful

what we're gonna do next.

I'm too happy to even
think about that now.

I don't care if I
die tomorrow, Doo,

if I never sing another song,
it ain't never gonna
be any better than this.

Did you hurt yourself?
Your jaw's swelling up.

That's just from
grinning, baby,
that's from pure happiness.

(LAUGHING)

LORETTA: (SINGING)
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 and I've tried

But I haven't yet

You walk by and
I fall to pieces

Friends, this is
a number one hit song
by Miss Patsy Cline.

I guess y'all all know
she's over in the hospital

'cause she's been in
a real bad car wreck.

So I wanna
dedicate this song to her.

So, Patsy,
if you're listening,
this song is for you.

I fall to pieces

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Oh, thank you.

Loretta,
Patsy Cline's husband.

Charlie Dick.
Hello.

Patsy heard you
tonight and she wants you
to come and see her.

Can you come?

Doo, this is Charlie Dick,
Patsy Cline's husband.

She heard me.
She was listening
in the hospital.

She wants to meet me.
Can we go?

Sure, baby, go ahead.
I'll take the young'uns.
Get your mama's guitar.

Are you sure?

Get in the car, baby.
Yeah.

Okay, honey,
Mama will be home soon.
Bye-bye.

Bye, Mom.

Patsy Cline was listening?
To me?

Bye-bye, honey.

CISSY: Bye!
See you later, Mama!

Hey.

Hey! Did you bring me
that beer like I...

(CLICKS TONGUE)

I keep my straw in
the top drawer, honey,
right behind you.

Right behind, top drawer.

It's right in there.
Thank you.

That's the one.
Thank you.

(SNORTS)

What's the matter
with you? (LAUGHING)

Ain't you ever seen
no glamorous star before?

You ain't mad at me
for singing your song,
are you, Patsy?

Mad?

Sit down.

I'm scared

because people might think
you sing that thing
better than I do.

Uh-uh.

You're stirring
things up in this town.

Hey. How many times
you been on the Opry now?

I've been on 17
straight times.

People wanna know
who you been sleeping with

that you been
on so many times.

Who's been saying that?

Gals that have been
sleeping with everybody
and still ain't been on yet.

Like who?

(CHUCKLES) Oh.
Let me put it this way,

take it as a compliment,
you got 'em running scared.
(LAUGHING)

I just can't believe
I'm sitting here,
talking to Patsy Cline.

ANNOUNCER: You know,
Patsy Cline has been

hospitalized for
several months now

due to a serious accident.

We are happy to say
she is here tonight
to sing for you.

A Grand Ole Opry welcome
for Patsy Cline!

(CROWD CHEERING)

MAN: You're looking
hotter tonight, girl.

(SINGING)
Sweet dreams of you

Every night

I go through

Why can't I forget you

And start my life anew?

Instead of
having sweet dreams

About you

You don't love me

It's plain...

DOOLITTLE: Johnny
didn't need any dogs...

WOMAN: Great, Patsy!

MAN: Nice show, Patsy!

What y'all two devils
been up to besides
getting into trouble?

Don't answer that.

Delmar, two Co-Colas.

Hey, Patsy,
Mooney says he's gonna
take me squirrel hunting.

Oh, now, Charlie Dick,
don't you bring
home no squirrels.

When I left
Virginia I swore

I'd never eat another
squirrel as long as I live.

I love squirrel meat.
Don't you like squirrel,
Patsy?

Of course I do.
I married Charlie,
didn't I?

(ALL LAUGHING)

Charlie, you know
I love you.

Even if I have to remind
him every now and then

he ain't nothin' but
a damn tax deduction.

That goes for you,
too, Doolittle Lynn,
and don't you forget it.

(ALL CONTINUE LAUGHING)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(SINGING)
Right from the start,
most every heart

That's ever been broken...

Doo? You all right?

Yeah.

Got you enough books?

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Get down from there.
Let me try.

My Lord, Patsy,
I hope we don't
get rained out.

(LAUGHS) You don't get
rained out on circuits
like these,

you just keep on singing.

Mud, flood,
hell or high water.

MAN: Five minutes, Patsy.

Looks like that's it for me.

What else do you wear?

I start out with
some liquid makeup
and then I powder that down.

Now, look, Loretta,
you get ready

'cause I'm gonna
call you up after
my first song.

Okay.

MAN: Somebody moving!

What did you do that for?

What have you
got on your face?

I just thought I'd try it.

Do you like it?
No.

Hell, no. You know
that I don't like it.

Now get on back there
and take it off.

No.
What?

Hey, now,
wait a minute, by God...

MAN 1: Loretta Lynn!

MAN 2: I'll be darned!

BOTH: (SINGING)
I'm back in baby's arms

How I missed those lovin' arms

I'm back where I belong

Back in baby's arms

Don't know why we quarreled

I'm sorry.

We never did before

Since we found
how much it hurts

I bet we never
quarrel anymore

No good.

What do you have
to do to win one
of these parrots here?

Two out of three.

One...

One parrot. Let me know
when I run out of money now.

Get away with
every parrot you got.
Uh-huh.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

Put them right
there under the guitar
against the red trailer.

Come on, let's move it up.
I'm cold,
I'm miserable, I'm wet,

I'm gonna lose my voice.

Have you seen Doo?

No, darling.

MAN: The corner and
put that big ol' thing

up against the dashboard.

Take this, will ya?

MAN 2: Anything else
in this here?

MAN 3: Yeah,
I got this right here.

MAN 1: Put them on top.
That's it.

MAN 2: Let's go.
This bus is taking off!

Woman, if you
wanna keep that arm,

you better get it
off my husband.

Who are you
telling what?

I don't know who you are.
But I know what you are.

Come on, Doo,
if you can walk,
they're gonna leave us.

Well, let me
tell you something,

if you was keeping
your man satisfied,

he wouldn't have
to go nowhere else.
(BUS HORN HONKS)

Doo, come on,
they're gonna
leave without us.

MAN: Loretta, let's go!

Let me get my parrots, baby.

(HORN HONKING)

MAN: Loretta!

Thank you.

The hell you getting
in such an uproar
about, Loretta?

I wasn't doing nothing.

Yeah, I saw you
doing nothing.

Loretta, darlin',
I get lonesome
standing around by myself,

I need somebody to talk to.

It didn't look
like no talking to me.
I'm warning you, Doo,

I'd better not ever catch you
with trash like that again.

I mean it.

Warning me?

Goddamn, woman,
don't you ever
warn me about nothing!

You understand that?

Hear me talking to you?

You hear me talking to you?

(PLAYING COUNTRY MUSIC)

(SINGING) Women like you,
they're a dime a dozen

You can buy 'em anywhere

For you to get to him
I'll have to move over

And I'm gonna
stand right here

This is the chorus.

It'll be over my dead body

So get out while you can

'Cause you ain't woman enough
to take my man

Where the hell
did you get
the idea for that?

Where do you think?

Hey, Charlie!

Charlie!

Wake up, Charlie.

Where the hell you been?

Shopping.
Looks like you have, too.

Get all that crap
off your face, by God,

I had about
enough of this crap.

I like it and it's stayin'.
Where the hell you going?

Hold on a minute, Mooney,
this is my idea.

You don't talk
to me like that.

If I wanna wear makeup,
I will.

The hell you will.
You're gonna do exactly
whatever the hell I tell you.

I'll do just what I want!

Don't you talk
to me like that.
Don't you hit me!

Don't you hit me.
I'll whip your butt,
girl! Goddamn!

Hey, hey. Come on,
let's get in the car.

Charlie,

Oh, my God. Did I do that?

Is it broke?

(SIGHS)

Aren't you gonna talk?

Baby,
what I think I'm gonna do
is get me a job somewhere,

driving a truck
or being a mechanic

or doing something
that I'm good at.

You're good at managing me.

I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for you.

Getting here's one thing
and being here's another.

(SIGHS)

My job's done, baby,
I'll just get me another one.

Doo, if it's gonna
break us up, I'll quit.

Successful people
don't quit, baby.

Got another one
of your headaches,
don't you?

Just like your daddy.

Coal dust give

I guess I'm what's
giving 'em to you.

Loretta.

Figured it was about time.

LORETTA ON RADIO: (SINGING)
For you to get to him
I'll 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

I'm pregnant again, Patsy.

Are you sure?

I don't wanna have it.

I've been having
babies since I was 14.

What does Mooney think?

He doesn't know.

Hey, come on,
I think you oughta
be happy about this.

I'm tickled.

We're gonna have a baby!

You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna give you
the biggest baby
shower in Nashville.

Now, I want you
to make a list.

Then we'll go shopping.

Hey, you know, I saved all
of my maternity clothes.

In fact, I got
Randy's old things, too.

You're gonna need
all of this, Loretta.

(PATSY SQUEALS)

You know,
I forgot I had this.

Oh, Patsy.

Can you believe it?

You scared me.
(SINGING)

Red's the color
that drives men wild.

Oh, great,
that's just what I need.

Well, you never know
when it'll come in handy.

Hey, listen, anything
you can't find in this box

we're gonna buy
when I get back.

Where are you going?

I got a benefit
in Kansas City.

Oh, I didn't know
I threw that thing away.

Maybe I oughta keep that.
Keep it burnin'.

Now look, this'll take
you through your fifth month.

(GASPS) Oh, Patsy,
are you sure you
want me to have this?

Oh, yes, darlin', take it.
Take it.

I got something with
your name written
on it right here.

I love that.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

Oh, Patsy, I got to go.
Doo's waiting for me.

You all right?
Yeah.

All right, now,
I'll call you on Monday.

Okay.
We'll go shopping.

Anything we can't buy
we'll make.

Anything we can't make,
we'll steal.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Now, you take care of
yourself, all right?

Okay.

Okay, darling.
Bye-bye, darling.

Thank you, Patsy.

Take care. Now,

Peggy and Patsy.

Which one is which?

I don't know. (LAUGHS)

I reckon we'll have to
wait and see who

Well, one thing's for sure,

we're gonna have to get us

Slow down, Doo!

What do you think?

About what?

What are you
up to, Doo?

I'm gonna build us
a house right here.

That's a hell of a view,
ain't it?

I picked this particular
spot on account of,
well, from right in there

it looks a bit like
Kentucky used to be.

Thought I'd put the bedroom
back over in here in
the front of the house

so we can wake up
every morning

and look out that
old picture window

and watch the sun come up.

Thought back up here
would be a good place
for a breakfast nook.

And then right...

Dadgummit, Doo.

You never asked me nothing
about no new house.

I wanted to
surprise you, baby.

Well, stop surprising me.

You never ask me
about nothing.

Well, hell, I thought
you'd want a new house,
babe.

For the privacy
if not for nothing else,
by God.

I ain't said
I don't want
no new house.

I just said you ain't
asked me nothing
about it. You never do.

You just say, "Hey,
baby, here's the deal,
take it or leave it!"

Well, it's driving
me crazy, Doo.

Hell, let's go to the house,
let's call the lawyers
and get a divorce.

I'm tired
of this bullshit.

I don't want no divorce,

I just want the dadgum bedroom
in the back of the house.

(EXHALES)

You put the dadgum bedroom
in the front of the house,
Doo,

and the sun comes in
every morning at 5:00
and shines in my eyes.

How am I supposed
to get any sleep?

You're not too ignorant
to get out of the bed
and walk over here

and pull a set of
window blinds down,
are you?

No, and I'm not
too ignorant to know

that the dadgum
bedroom don't belong
in the front of the house

where the living
room ought to be.

(GROWLS)
(IMITATES GROWL)

Stop growling,
Doo, you sound like
an old bear or something.

All right,
we'll put the bedroom

in the back of the house,
all right?

(CHUCKLING)

(GROWLS)

Let's not be
too hasty, Doo,

maybe we oughta
leave the bedroom in
the front of the house,

it's always been there
and it's pretty here.

It's beautiful, darlin'.
We'll put the bedroom
in the back of the house

and then we'll put
one in front
of the house, too.

Oh, great.
Then we'll both have
our own bedroom.

No, I'm gonna be
living in a tree house,

I'm gonna build
right up the hill there.

ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen,
back with us once again,

the first lady
of country music,
the coal miner's daughter,

Miss Loretta Lynn.

(CROWD CHEERING)

(SINGING) 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
my daddy made sure of

He shoveled coal
to make a poor man's dollar

Daddy loved and
raised eight kids
on a miner's pay

Mommy scrubbed our clothes
on a washboard every day

Why, I've seen
her fingers bleed

To complain
there was no need

She'd smile in Mommy'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 catalogue

Money made
from sellin' 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
of ever leavin'
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

'Cept the memories
of a coal miner's daughter

(CROWD CHEERING)

They say to have
her hair done

Liz flies all
the way to France

And Jackie's seen
in a discotheque
doing a brand-new dance

And the White House
social season
should be glittering and gay

But here in Topeka
The rain is a-fallin'

The faucet is a-drippin'
and the kids are a-bawlin'

One of the them's a-toddlin'
and one is a-crawlin'

And one's on the way

Ever since you left me
I've done nothing but wrong

Many nights I've
laid awake and cried

We were so happy
my heart was in a whirl

But now I'm a honky tonk girl

You come to tell me somethin'

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
but I don't think you can

'Cause you ain't woman enough
to take my man

Well, I like my lovin'
done country style

And this little girl
would walk a country mile

To find her a good ol'
slow-talking country boy

I said a country boy

I'm about as
old-fashioned as I can be

And I hope you're
likin' what you see

'Cause if you're lookin' at me

You're lookin' at country

Well, you've been
makin' your brags around town

That you've been
lovin' my man

But the man I love
when he picks up trash

He puts it in a garbage can

And that's what
you look like to me

And what I see's a pity

You better move your feet
if you don't wanna eat

A meal that's
called Fist City

Well, your pet name
for me is "squaw"

When you come home drinkin'
and can barely crawl

And all that lovin' on me
won't make things right

Well, you leave me at home
to keep the tepee clean

And six papooses
to break and wean

Your squaw is on
the warpath tonight

No, don't come home a-drinkin'

With lovin' on your mind

Just stay out there,
on the town
and see what you can find

'Cause if you want
that kind of love

Well, you don't
need none of mine

So don't come home a-drinkin'
with lovin' on your mind

No, don't come home a-drinkin'
with lovin' on your mind
