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.

Ive got a real important job
In a large office buildin
Ridin people in an elevator
I drive a 57 chevrolet
With busted tail lights
Burned out valves
And a leaky radiator
I wear a twenty dollar suit
I bought from j.c. penneys
Back in 1962
But Ive got somethin to brag about
Somethin to brag about
Somethin to brag about in you
(t.w.)
Im a short-order cook
At an all night cafe
Down on 18th avenue and 12th street
I wear a swingin mini dress
That I made for myself
>from mamas kitchen curtains
And old bed sheets
Ive got 17 pages
Of top value stamps
And one old pair of shoes
But Ive got somethin to brag about
Somethin to brag about
Somethin to brag about in you
When youre with the fellas, I know
You start braggin bout
My hour glass figure
And my big brown eyes
(g.j.)
Tell em
You tell your girlfriends bout my
Sweet, sweet lovin
And thats one better that
Money cant buy
(both)
So lets lget married
In the not-to-distant future
Well rent a little flat
On 29th street
You know well hang our washin
On the clothes line from the window
Well feast on corn bread, butter beans and lunch meat
We wont have a thermostat
A big long cadillac
But well have a love thats true
(g.j.)
Love has, somethin to brag about
(t.w.)
Yeah and Ill have, somethin to brag about
(both)
Yeah, somthin to brag about in you.
