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.

Tammy Wynette
(Richard Mullan - James Richard)
He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone decides who writes a symphony
He lights every star that makes a darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night.
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner call and always find him there
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say I forgive.
He can grant a wish or make a dream come true
He can paint the clouds and turn to gray the blue
He alone is there to find a rainbow's end
he alone can see what lies beyond the bend.
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say I forgive...
