Tammy Wynette (May 5, 1942 – April 6, 1998) was an American country singer and songwriter. She was known as the "First Lady of Country Music" and one of her best-known songs was "Stand by Your Man," which was one of the biggest selling hit singles by a woman in the history of the music genre. Tammy Wynette was born Virginia Wynette Pugh near Tremont, Mississippi, the only child of William Hollis Pugh (died February 13, 1943) and Mildred Faye Russell (1922–1991). She was always called Wynette (pronounced Win-net), or Nettie, instead of Virginia. Her father was a farmer and local musician.

Don't Make Me Go To School Lyrics
Tammy Wynette
(Gene Crysler)
My little girl said mommy
The school room breaks my heart
Arithmetic reminds me that
You and dad's apart.
Subtraction starts me breaking up
'Cause him from us leaves too
And with our home devided
Now I cry a lot in school.
Don't make me go to school no more
And cry through every test
I'm so ashamed when children see
The teardrops on my desk.
Imagine how you feel to hear
Your child say this to you
Don't make me go to school no more
And make the fifth grade blue.
--- Instrumental ---
It's hard to see my lessons
The blackboard's one big tear
And when I turn wet papers in
Niss Dickens only stares.
So please may I be absent mom
Like daddy is from home
I'd rather fail than face the class
They know my daddy's gone.
Don't make me go to school no more
And cry through every test
I'm so ashamed when children see
The teardrops on my desk.
Imagine how you feel to hear
Your child say this to you
Don't make me go to school no more
And make the fifth grade blue...
