Little Jimmy Dickens - Life Turned Turned Her That Way

Little Jimmy Dickens was a Nashville institution, joining the Grand Ole Opry in 1948.  He was discovered by no less that Roy Acuff who heard him singing on a local radio station.  His nickname came from his 4' 11" stature, but there was nothing small about his country music sound which is nothing but old school. 

Little Jimmy Dickens passed away yesterday at the age of 94.  Fair winds and following seas, Little Jimmy.



Life Turned Turned Her That Way (Songwriter: Harlan Howard)

If she seems cold and bitter
Then I beg of you
Just stop and consider
All she's gone through

Don't be quick to condemn her
For things she might say
Just remember
Life turned her that way

She's been walked on
And stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it
But the last footprint's mine

She was crying when I met her
She tries harder today
So don't blame her
Life turned her that way

She's been walked on
And stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it
But the last footprint's mine

She was crying when I met her
She trys harder today
So don't blame her
Life turned her that way

So don't blame her
Life turned her that way
