In truth, I think both versions are terrific. Loretta sings it's from the heart, having been subjected to her poverty and life experiences in Appalachian Kentucky. That is, her version conveys an almost indescribable bit of "soul" that can be heard in her voice.
On the other hand, and realizing the Emmylou has a better voice (technically,) and given the benefit of more modern recording equipment + superior studio musicians, her version is more sophisticated, and therefore, sounds more pleasant to the average listener.
So.....my answer is "both" not "better."
Kind of sounds like an answer you'd get from a politician, eh?
LOL.

I have to go with EmmyLou. I just love her voice. Loretta will always be the Queen, but EmmyLou just makes this song!

Loretta's original, hands down.
Two reasons: first, Loretta IS from Kentucky. It just sounds funny to hear someone from Alabama refer to herself as a "blue Kentucky girl." Second, Loretta's version has Harold Morrison's lovely banjo playing, which makes the version a winner with everything else being equal.

Loretta for me. However that may not be an unbiased answer b/c I have not heard Emmylou's version.

I am most partial to Loretta Lynn's version but as always Loretta is hard to beat no matter what the song title is or the subject matter of the song.

Wow! I love them both! But, Loretta has a little more country soul in her voice! To me, she's more classic country! Emmylou has sung with many pop artist, so I'd eliminate her from this category.
