One Sick Song Leads to Another

This song sung by Dolly Parton (I don't think it was written by her, I have a version of Hank Thompson singing it as well) is one of the sickest ever penned.

Unlike "Strange Fruit"'s metaphors for sickening realism, "Little Blossom" takes a straight ahead approach with a gutwrenching ending -- I certainly hope "Little Blossom" is pure fiction. One can hope, anyway.

Don't be distracted by Dolly's wardrobe changes, the ending of this song, is as they say "a killer."
