![]() ![]() The first of Loretta Lynn’s songs to top the Billboard country charts came with this feisty offering about a woman who was tired of her husband wanting to get romantic when he was intoxicated. "Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)" (1967).But, perhaps the most interesting performance of this song goes to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who recorded it as an extra for the 2005 film Be Cool. The Grateful Dead performed it in concert during the early 1970s, and Martina McBride paid homage to Lynn with a cover on her 2005 album Timeless. This song of warning to another woman who had designs on the singer’s man - inspired by a real-life incident - has become one of the most covered of Lynn’s songs over the years. “You Ain’t Woman Enough (to Take My Man)” (1966).Fifteen years later, Emmylou Harris lovingly tipped her hat to Lynn with a faithful hit cover of this timeless tune. While the majority of classic Loretta Lynn songs flowed from her own pen, this aching song of loneliness – from her 1964 album Songs From My Heart - features the songwriting credit of Johnny Mullins. ![]() ![]() ![]() When someone killed a secret brotherhood dedicated to one of the most popular men in history, al-Jahiz, Fatma was summoned for the subject case.

Newspapers reported that the president visited the crypt to open his son's coffin and hold his body.
