Lyric discussion by fyschee 

This is one of the best story songs ever written. It's one of the best songs ever written and recorded...by Bobbie Gentry, not Reba. Reba's just doesn't have IT. Already sung perfectly by Bobbie Gentry. This was the first album I ever bought, and it is still probably my favorite album. Produced with legendary Rick Hall at Muscle Shoals. I always loved this song because it was about a poor girl with nothing but a red dress and some advice from her mama, and she turned it around and made sure to never be in that position again.
