- “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man” “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man,” is a hallmark of Lynn and Twitty’s collaborations. Adding a little rockabilly sound to their partnership, the lively track shows off the strength in both of their voices, especially Lynn’s when the chorus kicks in.
- “After the Fire is Gone” Lynn and Twitty came in hot when they released their first of many duets in 1971, “After the Fire is Gone.” The song finds the two in a compromising position.
- “Lead Me On” Though Twitty and Lynn were both married to other people while working together, they knew how to turn on the romance musically. They prove this with “Lead Me On,” a tender ballad that finds both of their voices glowing.
- “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly” Though the title is rather harsh, the song is actually more comical than hurtful. The bluesy ditty finds the country legends as a couple who hurl playful insults at each other through such lyrics as, Conway, why in the devil don’t you go and shave/And put on a clean pair of pants?/

- "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" From: 'Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man' (1973) The third single to be released in the pair's duet series, "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" spent a total of 13 weeks on the country charts in 1973, peaking at No. 1.
- "Lead Me On" From: 'Lead Me On' (1971) Lynn called on her soaring vocal range for this gorgeous, heartfelt number. The love song, rather salacious for its day, describes a man asking a woman for deeper intimacy, and while the lyrics are vague, the message is clear: "If you want me, I'll go with you, but you'll have to lead me on," Lynn sings, smiling broadly.
- "You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly" From: 'Honky Tonk Heroes' (1978) Lynn and Twitty may been masters of the breakup ballad, but they proved that they could do comedy just as well with this 1978 performance.
- "As Soon as I Hang Up the Phone" From: 'Country Partners' (1974) This poignant ballad takes an unconventional -- and theatrical -- approach: Twitty's lines are spoken, whereas Lynn sings her parts.
