Альбом Loretta Lynn

Ever since he left me I've done nothing but wrong.
Many nights I layed awake and cried.
We was so happy, my heart was in a whirl,
But now I'm a honky tonk girl.

So turn that jukebox way up high,
And fill my glass up while I cry.
I've lost everything in this world,
And now I'm a honky tonk girl.

--- Instrumental ---

All he ever gave me was a reason to go bad,
And it's not hard to see just what I am.
I'm ashamed and I'm sorry for everything you see,
But losing him has made a fool of me.

So turn that jukebox way up high,
And fill my glass up while I cry.
I've lost everything in this world,
And now I'm a honky tonk girl...

We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
You told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long 'till all your dreams came true
Success put me in second place with you.

You have no time to love me any more
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success had made a failure of our home.

--- Instrumental ---

If we could share an evening now and then
Perhaps we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
It's funny what success has done to you.

You have no time to love me any more
Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home...

I just can't get it through my head
You love another now instead
Can't make myself believe we're really through.
I'm walking up and down the hall, talking to the silent wall
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you.

I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you.

--- Instrumental ---

I keep your letters, I should burn, I wear your ring, I should return
But there's a million foolish things I do
It makes me cry but you would laugh to know I kiss your photograph
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you.

I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you...

I'd like to introduce myself, I'm the other woman
The other woman in your husband's life
The whole town's buzzin' bout us and our stolen moments
They're callin' you the true and faithful wife.

But you gave him the right to seek that other woman
And you know who was first to cheat on who
I just accepted love from him you never wanted
The other woman didn't steal from you.

--- Instrumental ---

Now everybody's blaming me I'm the other woman
But who are they to judge who's wrong or right
Their whispers might be different if they knew what I know
The husband still beats you home ever night.

But you gave him the right to seek that other woman
And you know who was first to cheat on who
I just accepted love from him you never wanted
The other woman didn't steal from you...

I watched you leave
That's how I know you're gone
But this heart of mine
Keeps telling me I'm wrong.

I see your face
Before me every night
In this haunted house
When I turn off the light.

Sometimes I hear you
Walk across the floor
And my arms reach out
To hold you like before.

I live for all the things
We used to do
In this haunted house
I filled with love for you.

This haunted house
I'm living in is killing me
And the ghost of your love
Won't set me free.

Each morning finds me
Crying and alone
In this haunted house
We used to call our home.

Each morning finds me
Crying and alone
In this haunted house
We used to call our home...

While I'm at home a workin' and a slavin' this way
You're out a misbehavin' spendin' all of your pay
On wine women and song.
while I'm a makin' beds you're out a makin' time
You rob my piggy bank and spend my last thin dime
On wine women and song.

Well, one of these nights you're gonna come home
You'll find its coming on to you
You'll see what you've done and what's good for one
Is also good for two.

When you're in the doghouse
With that mangy old pup
You may start to thinkin'
And a given' up
Your wine women and song.

Well, one of these nights you're gonna come home
You'll find its coming on to you
You'll see what you've done and what's good for one
Is also good for two...

Now we go our seperate ways
Mr, and Mrs, used to be
For oh, so long I've loved you
I know that you loved me.

But time moved on and we grew far apart
It's not the way I wanted but the judge has set you free
Although you're still the first one in my heart
I just don't understand it how people such as we.

Could know the love that we have known but somehow disagree
I hope that you'll be happy the same dear you from me
Now we go our seperate ways
Mr. and Mrs. used to be.

--- Instrumental ---

At first it was like heaven on earth for you and me
But heaven's sure has changed a lot since then
I can't put all the blame on you for some belongs to me
But started out at heaven reached an end.

I guess we could have made it but pride stood in our way
For love to live it must have worked we never seemed the same
And so I say goodbye now kiss the kids for me
Now we go our seperate ways Mr and Mrs used to be...

(Roy Kitson)

Well, I know where you're going and who's gonna meet you there
I know how late you'll be coming home but guess who doesn't care
Tonight I'll step out too and since I won't be here
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

My best wishes may be early but I'm not sticking around
To bake a cake for your birthday while you're out runnin' around
She can help you celebrate may she bring you lots of cheer
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Now I've made my mind up late second's long enough
You think I don't mean it so you're gonna call my bluff
But I'll be busy packing while you're holding her near
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

My best wishes may be early but I'm not sticking around
To bake a cake for your birthday while you're out runnin' around
She can help you celebrate may she bring you lots of cheer
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Happy Birthdaym Merry Christmas and Happy, Happy New Year...

You left me for the bright lights of the town
A country boy set out to see the world
Remember when those city lights shine down
That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl.

I swear I love you
By the moon above you
How bright is it shinin' in your world
Some morning when you wake up all alone
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl.

--- Instrumental ---

Don't wait to bring great riches home to me
I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls
Just bring yourself, you're all I'll ever need
That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl.

I swear I love you by the stars above you
How bright is it shinin' in your world
Some mornin' when you wake up all alone
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl...

We're far apart but our hearts are holding hands

Yes, it's hard to sit here by myself each night
Not knowing where you are or when I'll hold you tight
Yes I have temptations sometimes it's pretty rough
But temptation's never strong as our sweet love.

'Cause our hearts are holding hands across the miles
Even though we're lonely we can smile
'Cause I know you're my woman and I know you're my man
We're far apart but our hearts are holding hands.

--- Instrumental ---

Today a stranger looked my way and flashed his gold
And said he'd buy me all the treasures I could hold
But I took out your last letter where you wrote you love me so
And there I found the strenght to tell him no

'Cause our hearts are holding hands across the miles
Even though we're lonely we can smile
'Cause I know you're my woman and I know you're my man
We're far apart but our hearts are holding hands.

And come what may our hearts are holding hands...

I don't know your name
I wouldn't know your face
But you're right with the one
I love out there someplace
You have an invitation
Feel free to come around
Come over anytime and see
The home you're tearin' down.

Once some happy faces would
Have met you at the door
But since their daddy's gone so much
They don't smile anymore
There's shattered parts of broken hearts
Just scattered all around
Come over anytime and see
The home you're tearin' down.

I'll dry all my tears
And have the coffee hot
'Cause I can't sleep a wink no more
Time's all I've got
You'll see the price I'm payin'
For happiness you've found
Come over anytime and see
The home you're tearin' down.

You've told how much you loved him
You can surely tell me too
I'd like to know just what you've done
To make him turn to you
I swallow pride and hear your sigh
If you'll just come around
Come over anytime and see
The home you're tearin' down...

Dear Uncle Sam,
I know your a busy man,
And tonight I write to you
through tears with a tremblin' hand.

My darlin answered when
He got that call from you.
You said you really need him
But you don't need him like I do.

Don't misunderstand
I know he's fighting for our land
I really love my country
But I also love my man.
He proudly wears the colors
Of the ole red, white, and blue
While I wear a heartache
Since he left me for you.

Dear Uncle Sam
I just got your telegram
And I can't believe that this is me
Shakin like I am
For it said
"I'm sorry to inform you..."

(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...

In a booth back in a corner
Where the lights are way down low
In the arms of a man
I hardly know.

I let the devil take over this heart of mine
When I lost your love, well, I almost lost my mind.
I never thought I'd ever fall this low
but here I am with a man I hardly know

In a booth back in a corner
Where the lights are way down low
In the arms of a man
I hardly know.

--- Instrumental ---

I do the things a proper lady wouldn't do
And it all started that first night when I lost you
To see me now you wouldn't know me I'm changed so
'Cause here I am with a man I hardly know

In a booth back in a corner
Where the lights are way down low
In the arms of a man
I hardly know...

You keep a sayin' you got something for me
Something you call love but confess yes
You've been a messin' where you shouldn't been a messin'
And now someone else is a gettin' all your best.

These boots are made for walkin'
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you.

You keep lyin' when you ought to be true then
And you keep loosin' when you ought enough bad
You keep a samin' when you oughta be a changin'
The what's right is right and you ain't been right yet.

These boots are made for walkin'
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you.

You keep a playin' where you shouldn't be playin'
And you keep a thinkin' that you'll never get burned
I've just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
And what he knows you ain't that time to learn.

These boots are made for walkin'
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you.

Come on boots let's walk all over...

Darlin' when you told me you were leavin'
I thought that you were only foolin' me
But here I am to face old blue tomorrow
With a broken heart that's filled with misery.

It seems that my world is through an end
Just dreamin' of things that might have been
Oh why, I don't get all sunshine bright
Today's the darkest day of my life.

(Oh, that's Grady Martin)
--- Instrumental ---

Oh, how I wish that old scene is through
It's always darkest just before dawn
Then I'll know soon I'm gonna see the sunshine
I just can't take this darkness, on and on.

It seems that my world is through an end
Just dreamin' of things that might have been
Oh why, I don't get all sunshine bright
Today's the darkest day of my life...

Well, you think you're the hardest thing a goin'
The way things come to you you think you're in
But one of these days that wind's a gonna start blowin'
You may not lose the big boy you won't win.

'Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin'
When he collects you know you'll pay your debt
The devil gets his dues like I been sayin'
You hurt just like you've hurt me you can bet.

--- Instrumental ---

When it comes to love you wear the devil's menu
And you brag a lot that you just can't be hurt
You're not the only one who knows the trick or two
Some day I might rub your face in the dirt.

Well, your little play house is sittin' on sticks of dynamite
And I get mad tonight and light the fuze
If you come in and find out that my dog bites
You'll know the devil's here collectin' dues.

Cause the devil gets his dues and you'll start payin'
When he collects you know you'll pay your debt
The devil gets his dues like I been sayin'
You hurt just like you've hurt me you can bet...

How long did you think you could go on hurtin' me
And I'd be your fool and wait at home alone
Well, you go out and have your fun like you are free
Tonight I'll have some pleasures of my own.

'Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight
We'll find out if two wrongs can make a right
Tonight I'll push my heartaches out of sight
'Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight.

--- Instrumental ---

Each time you walk out the door you walk on me
And you leave the door wide open for the blues
You fly away from me like you are free
You must think there's wings upon your shoes.

But a shoe goes on the other foot tonight
We'll find out if two wrongs can make a right
Tonight I'll push my heartaches out of sight
'Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight.

Yes, a shoe goes on the other foot tonight...

Now you tell me that you love me
Yes, you tell me that you care
That tomorrow we'll be married
But tomorrow is never there.

No tomorrow never comes
No tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me
But tomorrow never comes.

--- Instrumental ---

Many weeks now I have waited
Many long nights I have cried
Just to see that happy morning
When I'd have you by my side.

But tomorrow never comes
No tomorrow never comes
Now you tell me that you love me
But tomorrow never comes...

I walk the floor
Here in my lonely room
The silence nearly kills me
And I guess that it will soon.

He left because
Of things I've done and said
And if loneliness can kill me
Then I'm just as good as dead.

If loneliness can kill me
Then I might as well lay down
A girl who could die anytime
Shouldn't be a walkin' round.

I'd better find a place
To lay my head
For if loneliness can kill me
Then I'm just as good as dead.

--- Instrumental ---

If loneliness can kill me
Then I might as well lay down
A girl who could die anytime
Shouldn't be a walkin' round.

I'd better find a place
To lay my head
For if loneliness can kill me
Then I'm just as good as dead...

Well, you thought I'd be waitin' up
When you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys
And you ended up half tight.

But liquor and love that just don't mix
Leave a bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind.

No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town
And see what you can find.

'Cause if you want that kind of love
Well, you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind.

--- Instrumental ---

You never take me anywhere
Because you're always gone
Many a night I've laid awake
And cried dear, all alone.

And you come in a kissin' on me
It happens every time
No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind

No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town
And see what you can find.

'Cause if you want that kind of love
Well, you don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind.

No don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind...

I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying darling
This will be goodbye forever more.

There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion
There goes my everything.

As my memory turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we had before
And the love that kept this old heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of a door.

There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possesion
There goes my everything...

I'm gonna wipe these teardrops from my eyes
There ain't no use for me to cry
And there's some things I think I need to say
I'll think about you every day, every day while you're away.

I'll be true to you honey, while you're gone
If you're not gone too long
But if you're gone for a year or two
It may be too long for me to be true.

I might find somebody else
'Cause I get lonesome by myself
I'll be the truest love you've known
And for a while I'll stay at home.

I'll be true to you honey, while you're gone
If you're not gone too long
But if you're gone for a year or two
It may be too long for me to be true.

--- Instrumental ---

Tomorrow you'll be gone I know
So love me now before you go.
We don't know
What's farther down the road.

There may be a detour sign
To upset plans of yours and mine
I'll be true to you honey, while you're gone
If you're not gone too long.

But if you're gone for a year or two
It may be too long for me to be true.

I might find somebody else
'Cause I get lonesome by myself
I'll be the truest love you've known
And for a while I'll stay at home.

Oh yeah, if you're not gone too long...

You want me to prove my love for you
I'm surprised that's the way you're askin' me to
You've known me so long I can't understand
What kind of a girl do you think I am.

What kind of a girl do you want for a wife
Do you want a girl who knows that much about life
Well if that's what you want take me out of your plans
What kind of a girl do you think I am.

--- Instrumental ---

What kind of a girl would do the things
You're askin' me to without wedding rings
Is it what you must do to prove you're a man
What kind of a girl do you think I am.

What kind of a girl do you want for a wife
Do you want a girl who knows that much about life
Well if that's what you want take me out of your plans
What kind of a girl do you think I am...

(Who says God is dead who says God is dead)

Who says God is dead?
I'm a talkin' to him now
Who says God is dead?
He's with us all right now.

He knows every move that you make
He knows every time you make a mistake
The rumor has been spread
Who says God is dead?

Who says God is dead?
That's stupid and mighty low
I like to meet 'em face to face
And tell 'em it's not so.

I've got my Saviour by the hand
He's leadin' me to the Promised Land
No, I'm not out of my head
Who says God is dead?

--- Instrumental ---

Who says God is dead?
He's a watchin' you right now
Who says God is dead
He's a reachin' for you now.

If I were you I'd kneel and pray
'Cause we're not promised one more day
Remember blood was shed
Who says God is dead?

Who says God is dead?
I'm a talkin' to him now
Who says God is dead?
He's with us all right now.

Who says God is dead?
Who says God is dead?
Who says God is dead?...

"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.

(D. Trowbridge)

You've just stepped in from steppin' out on me
And break that you've been on another spree
If you don't settle down and change your way
I'll wound up steppin' out on you someday.

I can't hold your love by force I wouldn't if I could
And I can't bring myself to leave though I know I should
You've just stepped in from steppin' out on me
You're not the faithful man I thought you'd be.

Many nights I've wondered what you'd do
If you caught me a steppin' out on you?

--- Instrumental ---

I can't hold your love by force I wouldn't if I could
And I can't bring myself to leave though I know I should
You've just stepped in from steppin' out on me
I'll bet your conscience hurts you constantly.

Oh, time and time again you've been untrue
So I'll just step in from steppin' out on you...

(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...

(Sharon Higgins)

You came from the city streets to my little country town
Your spell is on my baby and you've got me sorrow bound
You don't really love him you're playin' around for fun
Woman of the world leave my world alone.

You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know
Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go
There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong
Woman of the world leave my world alone.

I don't know about the things the bright lights talk to you
My country boy don't know them any better than I do
I'll have to watch him hurtin' after you are gone
Woman of the world leave my world alone.

You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know
Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go
There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong
Woman of the world leave my world alone...

(Loretta Lynn - Maggie Vaughn)

L-o-v-e, l-o-v-e, love

There couldn't be a bad word I haven't heard you say
Don't you know the needs of any woman
You speak words my ears have never heard of
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e, love.

L-o-v-e a word you never use
L-o-v-e your lips never choose
It's enough to make a woman want to give of
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e, love.

--- Instrumental ---

It would tear me all to pieces if you ever came to me
With more to give than one robbed kiss at nighttime
You'll never know the longing that my heart does
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e, love.

L-o-v-e a word you never use
L-o-v-e your lips never choose
It's enough to make a woman want to give of
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e, love...

(Johnny Tillotson - Teddy Wilburn)

I take too much abuse
To me that's all I ever get
Yeah, callin' a man like you a husband
Is just like callin' old wild cat a pet.

You'd better stop your runnin' around
Say nothin', stop movin' on
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone.

Each day you walk off over me
Can't you take another out
If you start actin' like married man
Maybe we could find the way to work things out.

You'll find your key won't fit the lock
If you keep on a keepin' on
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone.

I know you think I'm runnin' round
And that's why you're so peaked
That's another lie of that same old stuff
But I hope you don't expect me to beleive.

Though after night you don't come back
'Cause you just love the home
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone.

--- Instrumental ---

I know you think I'm runnin' round
And that's why you're so peaked
That's another lie of that same old stuff
But I hope you don't expect me to beleive.

Though after night you don't come back
'Cause you just love the home
But who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone.

Honey, who's gonna take your garbage out
When I've packed my bags and gone.
You're gonna miss me honey gal
Ah, you're kiddin'...

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.

(Loretta Lynn)

Well, I'm game for just about anything
But the game you've named I ain't gonna play
You say you take a little drink and we'll go for a ride on a star
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far.

That happy pill you're takin' you say is a little weak
And you wanna give me one so you say I won't go to sleep
Well your hands're a gettin' friendly but I know exactly where they are
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far.

You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
I'm a little bit warm but that don't mean I'm on fire
You wanna take me for a ride in the back seat of your car
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far.

--- Instrumental ---

You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far
I'm a little bit warm but that don't mean I'm on fire
You wanna take me for a ride in the back seat of your car
You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far.

You wanna give me a lift but this ol' gal ain't a goin' that far...

Before you first made love to me
You called me, your wife-to-be
And after that, I saw the devil in your eyes
With your sweet smooth talkin' ways
You turned a flame into a blaze
The night I let you hang
My wings upon your horns.

Don't tell me that I'm no saint
I'm the first to know I ain't
There's a little thing called love
And that's what changed me
)From an innocent country girl
To a woman of the world
The night I let you hang
My wings upon your horns.

You hung my wings upon your horns
And turned my halo into thorns
And turned me into a woman I can't stand
You're the first to ever make me
Fall in love and then not take me
The night I let you hang
My wings upon your horns.

You hung my wings upon your horns
And turned my halo into thorns
And turned me into a woman I can't stand
You're the first to ever make me
Fall in love and then not take me
The night I let you hang
My wings upon your horns...

I'm not sayin' you don't love me cause I know you do
But I have said enough to know you play some too
You tear me all to pieces then you asked me not to bleed
I'm the woman that you want but I'm not the one you need.

The woman that you need is good for any ol' good time
And the woman that you want you wouldn't want if she's that kind
It hurts when you go sowin' wasted love from your wild seed
I'm the woman that you want but I'm not the one you need.

--- Instrumental ---

The woman that you need is good for any ol' good time
And the woman that you want you wouldn't want if she's that kind
It hurts when you go sowin' wasted love from your wild seed
I'm the woman that you want but I'm not the one you need...

You're tellin' me she loves you what a laugh
The funny thing is baby you don't know the half
If you've got any money honey you better put it in the safe and lock it
'Cause her love for you's just deep as your pocket.

She's a stupid girl in a fifty dollar dress
She wouldn't think about wearin' anything that costs much less
I can see she rows a boat but little ol' me's gonna rock it
'Cause her love for you's just deep as your pocket.

Yeah, her love for you's just deep as your pocket
She's got you blown up like a baloon but I'm a gonna pop it
She can't love you like I do but don't let me to drop it
'Cause her love for you's just deep as your pocket.

--- Instrumental ---

Yeah, her love for you's just deep as your pocket
She's got you blown up like a baloon but I'm a gonna pop it
She can't love you like I do but don't let me to drop it
'Cause her love for you's just deep as your pocket.

Yeah, her love for you's just deep as your pocket...

I'm through the place where I don't know my name
It's a world where the lonely go insane
I've brought along the little pieces of me he left behind
Got no place to go but crazy out of my mind.

I've got no place to go
But crazy out of my mind over baby
He's the last thing I remember that I won't forget in time
Got no place to go but crazy out of my mind.

I've watched him leave with hurt clear out of sight
And from that day on my mind just don't work right
What a little sence left in me I'll leave here in this wine
Got no place to go but crazy out of my mind.

I've got no place to go
But crazy out of my mind over baby
He's the last thing I remember that I won't forget in time
Got no place to go but crazy out of my mind...

Yeah, I love him like he wants me to and I know how
And it's my duty to know his moods when he gets moody
Yeah, I give him what he needs and that's why I'm his right now
Yes, I know I love him right 'cause I know how. Yeah, I know how.

Yes, I know how to hold him when he needs holdin'
And I know how to kiss him when he needs kissin'
I understand his every wish and his every wish is mine
Yes, he knows I love to love him and I know how.
Yeah I know how.

--- Instrumental ---

Yes I know how to hold him when he needs holdin'
And I know how to kiss him when he needs kissin'
I understand his every wish and his every wish is mine
Yes, he knows I love to love him and I know how.
Yeah I know how.

You better believe I know how...

Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty

Love is where you find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone.

The bottle is almost empty
The clock just now struck ten
Darlin' I had to call you
To our favorite place again.

We know it's wrong for us to meet
But the fire's gone out at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone.

Love is where you find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone.

--- Instrumental ---

Your lips are warm and tender
Your arms hold me just right
Sweet words of love you remember
That the one at home forgot.

Each time we say is the last time
But we keep hangin' on
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone.

Love is find it
When you find no love at home
And there's nothin' cold as ashes
After the fire is gone...

Once I made a promise that I'd never lead you on
But I feel the yearn to love you even though I know it's wrong
You'll have to take my hand and lead me slowly through the door
I'll be wrong in what I'm doin' I can't refuse you anymore.

Lead me on and take control of how I feel
I can't do this on my own cause it's against my will
I need love warm and tender in a way I've never known
If you want me I'll go with you but you'll have to lead me on.

--- Instrumental ---

Lead me on and take control of how I feel
I can't do this on my own cause it's against my will
I need love warm and tender in a way I've never known
If you want me I'll go with you but you'll have to lead me on...

Well, I look out the window and what do I see
The breeze is a blowin' the leaves from the trees
Everything is free everything but me
I'm gonna take this chain from around my finger
And throw it just as far as I can slinger
'Cause I wanna be free

When my baby left me everything died
But a little bluebird was singin' just outside
Singin' twidle-de-dee fly away with me
Well, you know I think I'm a gonna live
Gotta lotta love left in me to give
So I wanna be free.

I released my heart my soul and my mind
And I'm a feelin' fine
I broke the chains, the ring of gold
Before it broke my mind
Well, look who's cryin' and it ain't me
But I can't hardly hear and I can't half see
Oh, I wanna be free.

--- Instrumental ---

I released my heart my soul and my mind
And I'm a feelin' fine
I broke the chains, the ring of gold
Before it broke my mind
Well, look who's cryin' and it ain't me
But I can't hardly hear and I can't half see.
Oh, I wanna be free.

Do I wanna be free?
Yeah, I wanna be free free...

(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...

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.

(Loretta Lynn)

Well, if you've been a married woman
And things didn't seem to work out
Divorce is the key to bein' loose and free
So you're gonna be talked about.

Everybody knows that you've loved once
So they think you'll love again
You can't have a male friend
When you're a has been
Of a woman you're rated X.

And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal
Every man might try to make
But I think it's wrong to judge every picture
If a cheap camera makes a mistake.

And when your best friend's husband says to you
You've sure started lookin' good
You should've known he would
And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, nobody knows where you're goin'
But they sure know where you've been
All their thinkin' of is your experience of love
Their minds eat up with sin.

The women all look at you like you're bad
And the men all hope you are
But if you go too far you're gonna wear the scar
Of a woman rated X.

And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal
Every man might try to make
But I think it's wrong to judge every picture
If a cheap camera makes a mistake.

And when your best friend's husband says to you
You've sure started lookin' good
You should've known he would
And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X...

(Written by Billy Wallace)

You didn't know I wasn't free
When you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart, you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace
The world has tumbled in your face
Because they call our love a back street affair.

They say you wrecked my home
I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to
Was the first to be untrue
And yet they call our love a back street affair.

We have each other now
That's all that matters anyhow
For the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong
Then some day they'll see they're wrong
So let 'em call our love a back street affair.

We'll be free to love someday
When all the talk has died away
And the happiness we hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high
And then the world can hear me cry
That our love's not a back street affair...

I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
Yeah, and linger until my dreams came true.

Though wind in the willows
Plays love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you've made
Were never to be.

Though we're apart
You're a part of me still
For you are my thrill
On Blueberry Hill. Blueberry Hill.

Though wind in the willows
Plays love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you've made
Were never to be...

(Ray Griff)

The alarm clock woke my sleeping but I lay there for a minute
With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain
I stopped that bell from ringin' in the times it takes a heartbeat
Then I settled back and closed my eyes again.

I reached out for my baby for some early mornin' lovin'
Then the terrible truth came staggering through my head
There was just an empty pillow and the mem'ry of his kisses
Baby wasn't there beside me in the bed.

It's the morning after baby let me down
It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found
Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently
It's the mornin' after baby let me down.

There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me
And I started into trembling like a leaf
How could he ever leave me he was more than just a lover
And he knew all the ways to make me feel complete.

I can taste the salty teardrops God it's gettin' hard to swallow
Hope a glass of wine will take his love away
Got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feeling
What a good for nothing way to start the day.

It's the morning after baby let me down
It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found
Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently
It's the mornin' after baby let me down...

I told you that I'd never come around again
But here I am again, here I am again
I said I'd never let you get me down again
Here I am again here I am.

Here I am, here we are
The story's gettin' old
I know I can't go on, to you
But worse than bad, I can't let go.

I said words I swore I'd never speak
But again here I am again, here I am again
I thought I could stay strong but I got weak again
And here I am again, here I am.

Here I am, here we are
The story's gettin' old
I know I can't go on, to you
But worse than bad, I can't let go.

And oh, the nights're cold
And I could use a friend
So here I am again
Here I am 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...

(Tracey Lee)

The sun comes up and brings the dawn turn to day
The kids run out to play the game like kids all play
To child the world is milk and honey a dime is a lot a can be money
Oh, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny.

Running barefoot through the fields in the rain
Chasin' pretty butterflies in the lane
The world's a mess and they wonder why
Oh, what a pretty blue blue sky
Gee, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny.

The kids all say grown ups are strange and aren't they
They teach their kids not to do as I do but as I say
They cry for peace and then make wars
And wonder what they're fighting for.

Oh, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny?
Oh, gee ain't it funny, now ain't it funny?

I've seen him as he awakens in the morning
He reaches out his hand and without a word
As his fingers softly fall upon my face
He lights the flame of desire and makes me want him

And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When he gives me more loving
Then a lifetime of looking could ever find.

And love is the foundation we lean on
All you need is love to ease your mind
And does it have to be right to be called love
When he gives me more loving
Then a lifetime of looking could ever find...

Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty

Hello (hello Loretta) darlin' I knew it was you
(Loretta there's something I just got to tell you)

Oh, please tell me what to do
(I don't really know how to say this
But I want to tell you that I)
You gave me the will to go on
As soon as I picked up the phone

(No, no, you don't understand Loretta
I'm trying to tell you that I)
The talk is around that we're through
(Yeah, I know, I've heard it too.)

Oh darling, tell me what to do
(But that's just it that's what
I'm trying to tell you
I wanna tell you that)

I knew you'd tell me they were wrong
as soon as I picked up the phone
(Oh but it's true they're not wrong)
Oh, no (I'm sorry Loretta)

Oh no, I can't believe that it's true
(I'm sorry Loretta, I'm really, really sorry)
Oh no, oh no, I can't believe that we're through.
(I know, you know that I never thought it would come to this.)

You tell me it's over and done
(I really thought that I loved you and you know that)
You say that you've had all your fun
(You've just got to believe me that I never meant to hurt you.)
But I can't believe you've been gone

(This is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do
And it hurts me too)
As soon as I hang up the phone (Yeah, I'll be gone)
As soon as I hang up the phone (Goodbye Loretta.)

(Carl Knight)

Now lately, I've been wonderin' honey, why you don't come home
At the end of the day when your work is through
So yesterday, when the sun went down the moon rose on your trail
It just dawned on me what sundown does to you.

It just dawned on me what sundown does to you
It puts a clear in your eyes somehow I could never do
You wanna lean on the jukebox, sip on a cool one
And hang around a place where you just might find one.
It dawned on me what sundown does to you.

--- Instrumental ---

Now honey, you know sundown falls on everyone
When I say everyone well that includes me to
So tonight when that old moon comes out
You can bet I'll be cut out too
It just dawned on me what sundown does to you.

It just dawned on me what sundown does to you
It puts a clear in your eyes somehow I could never do
You wanna lean on the jukebox, sip on a cool one
And hang around a place where you just might find one.
It dawned on me what sundown does to you.

Well, it dawned on me what sundown does to you...

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...

(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 a 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...

Sometimes at night while you're fast asleep
I lie here alone in the darkness and weep
So sorry and sad but that's part of the deal
When the tingle becomes a chill,

I never wanted to stop lovin' you
I'll swear by the breathe in my body that's true
Ah, but a woman can't help the way that she feels
When the tingle becomes a chill.

You're so contented but for me it's all gone
And though I pretend you just don't turn me on
The body performs but the soul has no will
When the tingle becomes a chill.

I never wanted to stop lovin' you
I swear by the breathe in my body that's true
Ah, but a woman can't help the way that she feels
When the tingle becomes a chill...

Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty

Today I saw her for the first time since she left me
And she said, I've got a favor to ask of you
And I said all right what is it?

And she said, you know you always told me
If I ever needed any help just to ask you and you'd help me
And I said yeah, I remember, and she said

Well, there's this fellow that I've been going with
And I just found out that he's been slipping around me
And I thought that maybe if you'd write me a letter
And tell me that you miss me and that you still love me.
That he may find it and it might read it.
And it might make him jealous and I might not lose it

And I said, OK I'll write you the letter
Dear sweetheart just a line to let you know
That I still think about you and I still love you so
I remember your kisses and every time you held me tight
But most of all I remember the good times that we had each night
Dear sweetheart if you're lonely just let me know
For you're still my one and only and I still love you so
I'm gonna close for now sweetheart and try to go on without you
But don't forget I'll always love you no matter what you do.

So now I've written the letter the way you've asked me to
And I hope it makes him jealous the way you want it to
For I've told you I still love you and I wanna be with you
But you know sweetheart the saddest part,
I'm not pretending for I still do...

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...

Somebody, somewhere
Don't know what he's missin' tonight.

It must have all started with that darn'd old Late Show.
It made me so lonely and sad.
And to make it all better, I kept getting bluer,
With each little drink that I had.

So I tuned in a DJ,
Who played every sad song he owned.
Lord, I need someone so, but everyone I know,
Is away, bein' needed at home.

Somebody, somewhere
Don't know what he's missin' tonight.
Lord, here sits a woman,
Just lonesome enough to be right.

For love 'em or leave 'em,
How I need someone to hold tight.
Somebody, somewhere
Don't know what he's missin' tonight...

I've got your picture
That you gave to me
And it's signed with love
Like it used to be

The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got your picture
She's got you

I've got the records
That we used to share
And they still sound the same
As when you were here

The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got the records
She's got you

I've got your memory
Or has it got me
I really don't know
But I know it won't let me be

I've got your class
That proved you cared
And it still looks the same
As when you gave it dear

The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things
She's got you

(Hank Cochran)

He takes me to the places you and I used to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
He gives me love that I never got from you
He loves me too, his love is true, why can't he be you?

He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind
And I'm lucky to have such a guy, I hear it all the time
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too, his love is true, why can't he be you?

No, he's not the one who dominates my mind and soul
And I should love him so 'cause he loves me I know
But his kisses leaves me cold.

He sends me flowers, calls on the hour just to prove his love
And my friends say when he's around I'm all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too, his love is true, why can't he be you?...

Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn

You're the reason I'm a-ridin' around on recapped tires.
And you're the reason I'm hangin' our clothes outside on wires.
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin' and money ain't ev'rythin'
But I love you just the same.
You're the reason I've changed to beer from soda pop.
And you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop.
You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin', and money ain't ev'rythin'
But I love you just the same.
I guess that we won't ever have everything we need
'Cause when we get ahead it's got another mouth to feed

And that's the reason that my good looks and my figure is gone.
And that's the reason that I ain't got no hair to comb.
And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'
Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin', and money ain't ev'rythin'
But I love you just the same
I guess that we won't ever have everything we need
'Cause when we get ahead it's got another mouth to feed

--- Instrumental ---

Conway, why in the devil don't you go
And shave and put on a clean pair of pants?
But Loretta, look at yourself. Now I wish you'd take them
Curlers out of your hair and go put on a little makeup
And get out of that housecoat before supper.
Ha, well let me tell you something,
Conway, considerin' everything that I went through today,
I look like a movie star.
Eh-he-yeah, Ruth Buzzie.
Thankyee.
Besides that, all our kids took after your part of the family, anyway.

Oh they did, huh? What abouts the ones that's Bald?
(Laughs)
Well, I guess you could say they take after me...
(laughs)
