Little Red Shoes Loretta Lynn

[Verse 1]
I was eleven months old, I was just starting to walk
And Daddy always kept a big stick behind the door
Just in case somebody was to come in
That was drunk on moonshine, you know
And Daddy had to do something about it
Anyway, this woman, we called her old Aunt Boyd
She come in and she was telling Mommy about her, uh, husband, She thinks is going out with this woman in Paintsville
So she reared back with that big stick, showing Mommy
How she was going to hit this woman in the head with it
And when she went back with it, she hit me in the head
And Mommy said I cried for five days
And she said on that fifth night, I had a great big knot
To show up right in the middle of my forehead
And you know, the only thing I remember
I don’t remember no pain
I just remember Mommy and Daddy carrying me in this old quilt
That Mommy had made out of overalls
The knots kept getting bigger and bigger
So she took me to the doctor
And that stuff called Mesitor, something like that
Mommy said it made both ears flat to my face
And I ain’t got very big ears
And they told Mommy that I would, that I was gonna die
And that happened like four times
So I didn’t walk till I was almost five
It was, it was kind of a mess
