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.

My Arms Stay Open Late Lyrics
Tammy Wynette
(Curly Putman - Dan Lomax)
The baby cries, I could almost die from lonesome
The late show's gone and the coffee's on think I'll read some
Somewhere out there my love you share
And your thoughts are far from home.
But when the lights on Broadway go off
And every honky tonk is closed up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home
What you do is wrong but my love stays strong for you
I don't think I'll change a thing at all I might lose you.
Though it's almost dawn and you're still not home
I'll wait here patiently
The lights to my love never go off
and the door to my heart don't close up
My arms stay open late so you'll come home.
My arms stay open late so you'll come home...
