I never rode in an automobile until I was 12.

I had more verses . Owen Bradley said, 'Loretta, there's already been one El Paso and we'll never have another one. Get in that room and start taking some of those verses off.' Yeah, I took six verses off.

When I lost my husband [Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn], I just didn't want to work so hard anymore. I hate that I didn't quit things a lot more before he was gone. I stayed home for six years to take care of him but, at some point, I also felt I had to go back to work.

I'm trying to lead a good Christian life, so there ain't too much spicy to tell about me.

We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.
