The country star talks about her family of 15 (12 kids plus Mom and Dad) and how they were financially poor. But even though they didn’t have much money, the family was rich in many other facets in life.
The photo showed a very modest, almost run-down looking shack in the mountains with a large front porch. Dolly talked about how she used to take a tobacco stick and old tin can to create microphone and hold concerts on that porch for the farm animals and siblings. It may have been humble beginnings but Dolly was clear that her "Mama" worked hard to give them a positive perspective on life:
"Kids, if we had some ham, we'd have some ham and eggs …if we had some eggs!"
