Classic Country Lyrics: "Don't Come Home A-Drinking" von Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn erzählte, wie kaum eine andere
Sängerin in der Country-Musik, ihre Geschichten
aus der Sicht einer Frau, die mit der Männerwelt
zu kämpfen hat. Mit Songs wie "Don't Come Home
A-Drinking" wurde die eigentlich konservative
Loretta unabsichtlich zu einer Ikone des Feminismus.
Sie ist noch immer, im hohen Alter, aktiv.

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, they just don't mix 
Leave the bottle or me behind 
And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind 

Chorus:
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

                          
You never take me anywhere because you're always gone 
And many a night I've laid awake and cried here all alone 
Then you come in a-kissin' on me, it happens every time 
No, don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind 
 
Chorus
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
