Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Loretta Lynn

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

Loretta Lynn's, "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man"
The Misheard Lyrics:
For you're a big-toothed hen.
I happen to know it,
And I'm gonna stand right here.
The Real Lyrics:
For you to get to him,
I'd have to move over,
And I'm gonna stand right here.
The Story: First heard this as a child, when the misheard lyrics were as nearly as I could make out what was being said. As a grown up, I heard it again, after a long span of not hearing it, and my grown up perception and language skills made it more obvious what was actually being said. - Submitted by: Robert Jones
