I found this song by researching Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn duets on YouTube. Lauren and I discovered many others from their rich catalog, but this one stuck.
lyrics
YOU'RE THE REASON OUR KIDS ARE UGLY
(L.E. White/Lola Jean Dillon)
You're the reason I'm a-ridin' 'round on recapped tires.
You're the reason I'm hangin' our clothes outside on wires
An' you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Ah but looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
You're the reason I switched to beer from soda pop
An' you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop
You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin
Oh, but looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
I guess that we won't ever have, everything we need
'Cause when we get ahead, it's got another mouth to feed
And you're the reason my good looks and my figure's gone
And you're the reason I ain't got no hair left to comb
An' you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin
Ah but looks ain't everything
And money ain't everything
But I love you just the same
