Well, goodbye tubs and clothes lines, goodbye pots and pans
I'm a gonna take a greyhound bus, as further as I can
I ain't a gonna wash no windows and I ain't a gonna scrub no floors
And when you realize I'm gone, I'm a gonna hear you roar.

And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone
Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home.

I work my fingers to the bone and we don't hardly speak
And all I ever get is just a little kiss about once a week
So you can feed the chickens and you can milk the cow
This a woman's liberation, honey is a gonna start right now.

And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone
Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home.

I'll dress up like a movie star and pretty up my hair
And no one here is a gonna know what I'll be doing there
I'll be swinging from a chandelier and bouncin' off the walls
Instead of lovin' just one man I'm a gonna love 'em all.

And you'll say hey Loretta, I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey Loretta, don't leave me alone
Hey Loretta, I swear I'm a gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home...

(Loretta Lynn)

Well, I like my lovin' done country style
And this little girl would walk a country mile
To find her a good ole slow talkin' country boy
I said a country boy.

I'm about as old fashioned as I can be
And I hope you're likin' what you see
'Cause if you're lookin' at me
You're lookin' at country.

You don't see no city when you look at me
'Cause country's all I am
I love runnin' barefooted through the old cornfields
And I love that country ham.

Well, you say I'm made just to fit your plans
But there's a barnyad shovel fit your hands
If your eyes are on me
You're lookin' at country.

--- Instrumental ---

This here country is a little green
And there's a lotta country that you ain't seen
I'll show you around if you'll show me a weddin' band
I said a weddin' band.

When it comes to love, well, I know about that
Country folks all know where it's at
If you're lookin' at me
You're lookin' at country.

You don't see no city when you look at me
'Cause country's all I am
I love runnin' barefooted through the old cornfields
And I love that country ham.

If your eyes are on me
You're lookin' at country...

There's a reason for the sunshine sky
There's a reason why I'm feeling so high
Must be the season when that love light shines all around us
So let that feeling grab you deep inside and send you reeling
Where your love can't hide and then go stealing.
Through the moonless nights with your lover

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
Let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you'll know what I mean it's the season
Yeah let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine
And you'll know what I mean that's the reason.

There's a reason for the warm sweet nights
And there's a reason for the candle lights
Must be the season when those love rites shine all around us
So let the wonder take you into space
And lay you under its loving embrace
Let feel the thunder as it warms your face you can't hold back.

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
Let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you'll know what I mean it's the season
Yeah let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine
And you'll know what I mean that's the reason.

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
Let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you'll know what I mean it's the season
Yeah let your love fly like a bird on the wing
And let your love bind you to all living things
And let your love shine
And you'll know what I mean that's the reason...

Well, I'm a good ol' girl an' I would like to please every way I can.
I've loved you an' I've always let you have the upper hand.
How come you think you're so smart, an' I'm the weaker sex?
There ain't a man alive can match a woman, trick for trick.

We've come a long way, baby.
All the way to Hollywood from Arkansas.
We've come a long way, baby.
Second class don't turn me on at all.

Well, I don't wanna a wall to paint, but I'm a-gonna have my say.
From now on, lover-boy, it's fifty-fifty, all the way.
Up to now I've been an object made for pleasin' you.
Times have changed and I'm demanding satisfaction too.

We've come a long way, baby.
All the way to Hollywood from Arkansas.
We've come a long way, baby.
Second class don't turn me on at all.

We've come a long way, baby.
All the way to Hollywood from Arkansas.
We've come a long way, baby.
Second class don't turn me on at all...

Last night he took me in his arms,
And held me tenderly.
He said: "I don't know what's got into you,
"But I'm lovin' what I see."
I hid my shame and tried to say,
The words I longed dreamed of.
But instead of saying: "Set me free,"
I whispered: "I'm in love."

I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.
"I hear bird singin', an' I feel the warm sunshine too.
I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.
That makes the warm of glowing love."
But I just couldn't tell him it was someone new.

I tried to make you understand,
The reasons I can't go.
Your love is fresh and new, but his love's true,
It's had time to grow.
And even though he may no longer,
Keep me satisfied.
Don't you know he's still got Spring and Fall,
And Summer on his side.

I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.
I hear bird singin, an' I feel the warm sunshine too.''
I said: "I guess it's Spring fever in the middle of Winter.
That makes the warm of glowing love."
But I just couldn't tell him it was someone new...

(Loretta Lynn)

Well, your pet name for me is Squaw
When you come home a drinkin' and can barely crawl
And all that lovin' on me won't make things right
Well, you leave me at home to keep the teepee clean
Six papooses to break and when wean
Well, your squaw is on the warpath tonight.

Well, I've found out a big brave chief
The game you're a huntin' for ain't beef
Get off of my huntin' grounds and get out of my sight
This war dance I'm doin' means I'm fightin' mad
You need no more of what you've already had
Your squaw is on the warpath tonight.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, that fire-water that you've been drinking
Makes you feel bigger but chief you're shrinking
Since you've been on that love making diet
Now don't hand me that ole peace pipe
There ain't no pipe can settle this fight
Your squaw is on the warpath tonight.

Well, I've found out a big brave chief
The game you're a huntin' for ain't beef
Get off of my huntin' grounds and get out of my sight
This war dance I'm doin' means I'm fightin' mad
You need no more of what you've already had
Your squaw is on the warpath tonight.

Yeah, your squaw is on the warpath tonight...

"Fist City" By: Loretta Lynn
You've been makin' your braggs around town
That you've been a lovin' my man
But the man I love
When he picks up trash
He puts it in a garbage can
And that's what you look like to me
And what I see's a pitty
You better close you face and stay outta my way
If you don't wanna go to fist city.

Chorus:
If you don't wanna go to fist city
You better detour around my town
'Cause I'll grab a you by the hair a the head
And I'll lift off of the ground
I'm not a sayin' my baby's at saint
'Cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off a my man
If you don't want to go to fist city.

Come on and tell me what you told my friends
If you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is
Since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew
If you get to cute or witty
You better move your feet
If you don't wanna eat
A meal that's called fist city.

Repeat Chorus

I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man
If you don't wanna go to fist city.

I fall to pieces,
Each time I see you again
I fall to pieces,
How can I be just your friend?

You want me to act,
Like we never kissed
You want me to forget,
Pretend we never kissed.

You want me to forget,
Pretend we never met
And I tried, and i tried,
But I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces.

--- Instrumental ---

I fall to pieces
Each time someone speaks your name
I fall to pieces
Time only adds to the flame.

you tell me to find
Someone else to love
Someone who'll love me too
The way you used to do

But each time
I go out with someone new
You walk by, and I fall to pieces
You walk by and I fall to pieces...

I go out walkin' after midnight
Night out in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you.

I walk for miles along the highway
Well, thats just my way
Of saying I love you
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' for you.

I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be.

I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the starlight
Just hopin' you may be somewhere
A walkin' after midnight searchin' for me.

I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's cryin' for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be.

I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the starlight
Just hopin' you maybe somewhere
A walkin' after midnight searchin' for me.

(Kris Kristofferson - Fred Foster)

La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la me and Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Headin' for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield whipers slappin' time
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night he kept me from the cold.

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let him slip away
Searching for the home I hope he'll find
And I'd give all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la (Bobby McGee)
La la la la la la me and Bobby McGee...

Lyin' alone in this big old bed
I got you on my mind
I said when you left
I could make it by myself
But it gets harder all the time
And I can't take it no more
I see your face
Every time I close my eyes
So I'm goin' out now
And I'm lookin' for you
Some winter night.

I want you out of my head
And back in my bed
Before the mornin' sun comes up
I can't stand another night
Without holdin' me tight
How I miss your lovin' touch
I'm goin' searchin'
Everywhere that a you might be
When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me
I want you out of my head
And back in my bed
Before the mornin' comes.

Well, I might find somebody new
To share my misery
But no other man
Can do what you can
When it comes to lovin' me
I don't want nobody to say that I was a fool
For bein' cool
I won't be satisfied till you're back in my arms
And I'm lovin' you.

I want you out of my head
And back in my bed
Before the mornin' sun comes up
I can't stand another night
Without you holdin' me tight
How I miss your lovin' touch
I'm goin' searchin'
Everywhere that a you might be
And when I find you
I'm a bringin' you home with me
I want you out of my head
And back in my bed
Before the mornin' comes.

I want you out of my head
And back in my bed
Before the mornin' sun comes up
I can't stand another night
Without you holdin me tight
How I miss your lovin' touch
I'm goin' searchin'
Everywhere that a you might be
And when I find you
I'm a bringin' you home with me
I want you out of my head
And back in my bed
Before the mornin' comes...

COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER
Words and music by Loretta Lynn

Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter
In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor, but we had love
That's the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar.

My daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine
All day long in the field a-hoin' corn
Mommie rocked the babies at night
And read the Bible by the coal-oil light
And ever'thing would start all over come break of morn'.

Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommie scrubbed our clothes on a washboard ever' day
Why, I've seen her fingers bleed
To complain there was no need
She'd smile in Mommie's understanding way.

In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog
Money made from sellin' a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere.

Yeah!, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
I remember well - the well where I drew water
The work we done was hard
At night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired
I never thought of ever leaving Butcher Holler.

Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floor
Nothing lives here anymore
Except the mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter.

(Jerry Chesnut)

I wasn't much more than a baby, I thought he was a bear
The way my daddy carried me around
They said I learned to walk while holdin' on to just one finger
On the hand of a man that stands at six-foot-three.

Not old enough to understand the meaning of depression
Just something people talked about a lot
My daddy wasn't one that tried to make no big impressions
Just one heck of a man that worked for what he got.

They don't make men like my daddy anymore
Guess they've thrown away the pattern through the years
In a great big land of freedom at a time we really need 'em
They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore.

--- Instrumental ---

From the Johnson County coal camps to the hills of West Virginia
My daddy hauled the timber for the mines
Education didn't count so much as what you had born in you
Like the will to live and a dream of better times.

Daddy never took a handout, we ate pinto beans and bacon
But he worked to keep the wolf back from the door
And it only proves one thing to me when folks start belly achin'
They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore.

They don't make men like my daddy anymore
Guess they've thrown away the pattern through the years
In a great big land of freedom at a time we really need 'em
They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore.

They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore...

They say to have her hair done, Liz flies all the way to France,
And Jackie's seen in a discoth`eque doin' a brand new dance.
And the White House social season should be glittering and gay.
But here in Topeka, the rain is a fallin'
The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are a bawlin'
One of 'em a-toddlin and one is a crawlin':
And, one's on the way.

I'm glad that Raquel Welch just signed a million dollar pact,
And Debbie's out in Vegas workin' up a brand new act.
While the TV's showin' Newlywed's, a real fun game to play;
But here in Topeka, the screen door's a bangin'
The coffee's boilin' over and the worsh needs a hangin'
One want a cookie and one wants a changin'
And, one's on the way.

Now what was I doin'?
Jimmy get away from there.
Darn, there goes the phone.
Hello honey. What's that you say?
You're bringin' a few ole army buddies home?
You're callin' from a bar?
Get away from there.
No, not you honey, I was talking to the baby.
Wait a minute, honey, the door bell.
Honey, could you stop by the market and...
Hello?
Hello?
Well I'll be.

The girls in New York City, they all march for women's lib.
And better homes and garden shows, the modern way to live.
And the pill may change the world tomorrow, but meanwhile, today.
Here in Topeka, the flies are a buzzin'
The dog is a barkin' and the floor needs a scrubbin'
One needs a spankin' and one needs a huggin'
Lord, one's on the way.

Oh gee, I hope it ain't twins again.

You wined me and dined me
When I was your girl
Promised if I'd be your wife
You'd show me the world

But all I've seen of this old world
Is a bed and a doctor bill
I'm tearin' down your brooder house
'Cause now I've got the pill.

All these years I've stayed at home
While you had all your fun
And every year thats gone by
Another babys come.

There's a gonna be some changes made
Right here on nursery hill
You've set this chicken your last time
'Cause now I've got the pill.

This old maternity dress I've got
Is goin' in the garbage
The clothes I'm wearin' from now on
Won't take up so much yardage.

Miniskirts, hot pants
And a few little fancy frills
Yeah, I'm makin' up for all those years
Since I've got the pill.

I'm tired of all your crowin'
How you and your hens play
While holdin' a couple in my arms
Another's on the way.

This chicken's done tore up her nest
And I'm ready to make a deal
And ya can't afford to turn it down
'Cause you know I've got the pill.

This incubator is overused
Because you've kept it filled
The feelin' good comes easy now
Since I've got the pill.

It's gettin' dark it's roostin' time
Tonight's too good to be real
Oh, but daddy don't you worry none
'Cause mama's got the pill.

Oh, daddy don't you worry none
'Cause mama's got the pill...

(Loretta Lynn)

You've come to tell me something you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him oh but I don't think you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.

Women like you they're a dime a dozen you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my death body so get out while you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.

--- Instrumental ---

Sometimes a man start lookin' at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you but he's in love with me
Well I don't know where they leave you oh but I know where I'll stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man.

Women like you they're a dime a dozen you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my death body so get out while you can
'Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man.

No, you ain't woman enough to take my man...
