loretta lynn - 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

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

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

loretta lynn - ain 039 t love a good thing

Blues go ahead and knock upon my door you can't hurt me anymore
Um-um ain't love a good thing
Rain go ahead and let it rain all night in the morning I'll be dry
Um-um ain't love a good thing
Ain't it good to know love can take away the rain
And make the sunshine again
And ain't it good to know love can take a lonely dream
And turn it into a real thing
Um-um ain't love a good thing um-um ain't love a good thing
Pain find yourself another heart to ache and another mind to break
Um-um ain't love a good thing
Time find yourself another fool to waste and another place to stay
Um-um ain't love a good thing
Ain't it good to know...
Um-um ain't love a good thing
Ain't love a good thing good thing
Ain't love a good thing

loretta lynn - always on my mind

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I should have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I could have
If I make you feel second best
Boy, I'm so sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, oh tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

loretta lynn - as good as a lonely girl can be

Tell me darling have I been away too long
I was wrong to leave but now I'm coming home
Have you missed me I kind of hope you would and jokingly I ask are you being good
I'm being good as lonely girl can be
And there's no other place on earth I'd rather be
To lie here beside him oh Lord how sweet love can be
I'm being good as lonely girl can be

It was just too much for me I should've known
You were just too much a woman to me alone
I just realized I love you much too late and Lord it's killing me to hear you say
I'm being good as lonely girl can be...
Tell me darling have I been away too long

You were just too much woman for me to leave alone

loretta lynn - back home again

There's a storm across the valley the clouds're rolling in
The afternoon is heavy on my shoulders
There's a truck on the forelane a mile or more away
The whining of his wheels just makes it colder
I'm an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the skies
Ten days on the road I'm nearly home
There's a fire softly burning supper's on the stove
But the light in your eyes makes me warm
Hey it's good to be back home again yes it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend

Hey it's good to be back home again
There's lots of news to tell you how I spent my time
About the lady's things the neighbors say
And your mother called at Friday something makes her cry
And I felt our baby moved just yesterday
Hey it's good to have you home again hmm
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend

Hey it's good to have you home again
It's the sweetest thing I know of just spendin' time with you
It's the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burning and supper's on the stove
But it's the light in your eyes that makes me warm
Hey it's good to be back home again yes it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Honey it's good to have you home again oh ain't it good to be together again

loretta lynn - band of gold

I've never wanted wealth untold
My life has one design
A simple little band of gold
To prove that you were mine

Don't want the world that have been hold
For fame is not my line
Just want a little band of gold
To prove that you were mine

Some sail away to araby's
Another land of mistery
But all the wonders that they see
Will never tempt me

Their memories will soon grow cold
But till the end of time
There'll be a little band of gold
To prove that you are mine

I've never wanted wealth untold
But till the end of time
There'll be a little band of gold
To prove that you are mine

loretta lynn - barroom habits

Well the kids came out to play last Sunday morning
And I came in from playing all night long
I walked in and slammed the door and put my cigarette out on the floor
And I told her a dirty joke and the fight was on
Well you better quit bringing those barroom habits home to mama
Yeah you better quit callin' me Rosie when you know that's not my name
When you come home it's like a bad dream
I follow you round tryin' to keep the place clean
You better quit bringing those barroom habits home to mama

Last night I got high and I got lonesome
And I remember just what I needed was waitin' at home
I popped a top all over the wall and after that she wouldn't friendly at all
And I could tell by the look in her eye that I done something wrong
Well you better quit bringing...
Yeah you better quit bringing...

loretta lynn - bartender

Please listen to me bartender I've got something on my mind
I think I'd might feel better after one more glass of wine
I'm payin' for a broken heart the price of love is high
With nothing left to live for what's there to do but die
(I know your story honey they're all the same you see
Why I knew the minute that you walked in you want to talk to me
But I've learned what you don't read in books from words that cost this bar
I've seen them come and I've seen them drink

Till they don't even know who they are
Now I don't believe that honky tonk is a place for a girl like you
I might be wrong but you don't look right sittin' there on that barstool
It's not too late so stop and think before all of your pride is gone
You can end up like all the rest with a barroom for your home)
I know you're right bartender goodnight I'm going home

loretta lynn - beautiful unhappy home

We were proud of this house that we found on a street in the nice part of town
Had it furnished with care we were once happy here now it's a beautiful unhappy home
Planted red sweet hard roses for you painted our rooms your favorite blue
Now the colors remain but our love's not the same oh it's a beautiful unhappy home
What a beautiful unhappy home it's so hard to believe it's our own
But we're both held here by a child we love dear in this beautiful unhappy home
Yes we're both held here...
In our beautiful unhappy home

loretta lynn - black jack david

Black Jack David came riding through the woods
And he sang so loud and gaily
Made the hills around him ring
And he charmed the heart of a lady
And he charmed the heart of a lady

How old are you my pretty little miss
How old are you my honey? "
She answered him with a silly little smile
"I'll be sixteen next Sunday
be sixteen next Sunday

Come go with me my pretty little miss
Come go with me my honey
I'll take you across the deep blue sea
Where you never shall want for money
you never shall want for money

She pulled off her high-heeled shoes
They were made of Spanish leather
She put on those low-heeled shoes
And they both rode off together
they both rode off together

Last night I lay on a warm feather bed
Beside my husband and baby
Tonight I lay on the cold, cold ground
Beside my Black Jack David
Beside my Black Jack David

loretta lynn - blue kentucky girl

You left me for the bright lights of the town a country boy sat 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 mornings when you wake up all alone
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl
[ banjo ]
Don't waste 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 stars...

loretta lynn - coal miner 039 s daughter

Well I was born the 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 shovel coal to make a poor man's dollar
My daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine all day long in the field hoein' corn
Mommie rocked the baby that night and read the Bible by the coal oil light
And everything 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 everyday
Why I've seen her fingers bleed to complain there was no need
She's smiled 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 by selling 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 I'd ever leave the Butcher Holler
But a lots of things have changed since the way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floor nothing lives there anymore
Just the mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter
