Classic Country Lyrics: "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind") von Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn war in ihren frühen Hits tougher als sie in Wirk-
lichkeit ist; die als Ikone der Frauenbewegung geltende Alt-
meisterin der Countrymusik ist privat eher konservativ einge-
stellt. In diesem Song liest sie ihrem Mann die Leviten: Wenn
er noch Liebe will, dann soll er gefälligst nicht betrunken nach
Hause kommen.

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
[ steel - guitar ]
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'...
No don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
