Very effectively delivered by Dolly - hahaha!

Of course, her country music career started out long before Dolly's- - - - -her recording of "Down Yonder" was the largest selling instrumental solo for many years in the early 1950s.

But she said the gun was in her purse at her desk, but she'd gladly go get it and do the "rooster to hen" thing.
