Sunday Morning Coming Down

Lorretta Lynn sure can pick ’em.

And by ’em I mean a) men, and b) songs with great titles.

Last time she appeared on these pages, she was duetting with Conway Twitty on a lovely little ditty called You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly.

And here she is again, this time with Ernest Tubb on a song which you may find listed in some places with the incorrectly added brackets at the end (When I’m Dead And Gone?) – incorrect not just because that’s not the song title, but also because those aren’t words which feature in the song:

Some of you may recognise this from a cover version the late, great John Prine released in 2016 on his For Better, or Worse album, with Iris DeMent taking on the Loretta role:

Take your pick.

This morning, back to one of those songs which has a title which you would only find in country music (and, I know I’ve committed some fashion atrocities in my time, but there’s also nowhere else you’d find a jacket quite like Conway is wearing – matched with a white turtle-neck! – on the album cover):
