Loretta Lynn Album

(Johnny Russell)
Well, you come home most every night as grouchy as can be
And start right in a pickin' on our little kids and me
I'm sick and tired of hearin' are you worth keep you a trigon
'Cause you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon.

Yeah, two mules pull this wagon you don't do it by yourself
I know you've got a heavy load but it gives you lots of hell
I do my share of pullin' and I don't mean to be bridled
But you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I guess you think while you're at work I sit and watch TV
But you'd learn different honey if you'd spent one day with me
I'm washin', ironin', cookin', so and find out for your nigher
But you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon.

Yeah, two mules pull this wagon you don't do it by yourself
I know you've got a heavy load but it gives you lots of hell
I do my share of pullin' and I don't mean to be bridled
But you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon.

Yeah, you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon...

It's been so long, darling
Since I had to go away
It's been so long, darling
And I'll never forget that day.

Although I never mentioned it
I cried the whole day long
It's been so long, darling
But now you're comin' home.

It's been so long, darling
But it won't be long now
It's been so long, darling
And I've kept every vow.

He'll sign me right here waitin'
As you did in days gone by
It's been so long, darling
Please don't blame me if I cry.

--- Instrumental ---

It's been so long, darling
Since I gazed into your eyes
It's been so long, darling
Do you really realize?

That's just the thought of seeing you
It scares me through and through
It's been so long, darling
Since I had a kiss from you.

It's been so long, darling
But now you're comin' home...

Just when the sun shines the brightest
And the world looks all right again
The clouds fill the skies you can't believe your eyes
Sometimes you just can't win.

My love never meant much to you dear
And to you I was always a friend
Oh, why did I feel you'd have no heart at all
Sometimes you just can't win.

--- Instrumental ---

I can't live like this any longer
Not knowing just where I stand
I know I shouldn't care but sweetheart it don't seem fair
Sometimes you just can't win.

And then when the sun shines the brightest
And the world looks all right again
The clouds fill the skies you can't believe your eyes
Sometimes you just can't win.

Yeah, sometimes you just can't win...

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the treasures my pockets would hold
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.

An acre of diamonds I'd offered to you
A solid gold mansion an airplane or two
This world would be yours to have and to hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.

--- Instrumental ---

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the treasures my pockets would hold
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.

An acre of diamonds I'd offered to you
A solid gold mansion an airplane or two
This world would be yours to have and to hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold...

Your cheating heart will make you weep
You'll cry and cry and try to sleep
But sleep won't come the whole night through
Your cheating heart will tell on you.

When tears come down like falling rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheating heart will tell on you.

--- Instrumental ---

Your cheating heart will pine someday
And crave the love you threw away
The time will come when you'll be blue
Your cheating heart will tell on you.

When tears come down like falling rain
You'll toss around and call my name
You'll walk the floor the way I do
Your cheating heart will tell on you...

Why not tell me that I'm really losing you
It's no secret that you've found somebody new
I just hope that she'll love you the way I do
Go on and go if you need her like I need you.

Go on and go if you want her I understand
Between your passion and your pride you're half a man
I don't want your kiss without your sweet love too
Go on and go if you need her like I need you.

--- Instrumental ---

Go on and go if you want her I understand
Between your passion and your pride you're half a man
I don't want your kiss without your sweet love too
Go on and go if you need her like I need you...

(Johnny Cash)

Everybody knows where you go when the sun goes down
I think you only live to see the lights uptown
I wasted my time when I would try try try
Cause when the lights have lost their glow you'll cry, cry, cry.

Soon your sugar babies will all be gone
You'll wake up some cold day and find you're alone
You'll call for me but I'm gonna tell you bye, bye, bye
When I turn around and I walk away you'll cry, cry, cry.

You're gonna cry, cry, Cry and you cry alone
When everyone's forgotten
And you're left on your own
You're gonna cry, cry, cry.

--- Instrumental ---

I lie awake at night and wait till you come in
You stay a little while and then you're gone again
Every question that I ask I git a lie, lie, lie
For every lie you tell you're gonna cry, cry, cry.

When your fickle love gets on, Oh, no one will care for you
When you come back to me for a little love that's true.
I'll tell you no and then you'll ask me why, why, why
When I remind you all of this you'll cry, cry, cry.

You're gonna cry, cry, cry, and you'll cry and then
It'll hurt when you think of a fool you've been
You're gonna cry, cry, cry
You're gonna cry, cry, cry...

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...

[No lyrics]

Today has been a day filled with heartaches
But tonight I'll be happy again
The flashing lights call out the lonely from the darkness
On each door reads the welcome come on in.

Another night, anothet fight with my mem'ries
With a glass in my hand I forget
Today has gone with coming on I started cryin'
Today has been a day another day of regret.

A crazy fool, oh, what a fool to ever let you go
Now I can see you don't need me
And that's what hurts me so
Yes today has been a day filled with misery.

Just how lonesome can one poor girl get
I said today that I'd forget but I haven't yet
Today has been a day another day of regret.
Today has been a day another day of regret...

Jealous heart, oh, jealous heart, stop beating
Can't you see the damage you have done
You have driven him away forever, jealous heart
Now I'm the lonely one.

I was part of everything he planned for
And I know he loved me from the start
Now he hates the sight of all I stand for
All because of you, oh, jealous heart.

--- Instrumental ---

Jealous heart, why did I let you rule me
When I knew the end would bring me pain
Now he's gone, he's gone and found another
Oh, I'll never see my love again.

Through the years his memory will haunt me
Even though we're many miles apart
It's so hard to know he'll never want me
'Cause he heard your beating jealous heart...

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..."
