Loretta Lynn Album

Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

See the alligators all a waitin' nearby
Sooner or later they know I'm gonna try.
When she waves from the bank don't you know I know
It's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago.
With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side
The Mississippi River don't look so wide.

Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

Well, I thought I'd been loved but I never had
Till I was wrapped In the arms of a Mississippi man.
When he holds me close it feels almost
Like another hurricane just ripped the coast.
If he can't come to me I'm gonna go to him
That Mississippi River Lord I'm gonna swim.

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

Well, Mississippi River, Lord, it's one mile wide
And I'm gotta get me to the other side.
Mississippi man, I'm losin' my mind
Gotta have your loving one more time.
I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go
Too bad alligatior you swim too slow.

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

Heae...

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart.

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart...

We thought the baby was the answer
To keep us happy in our world
Our prayers were answered with the darling baby girl
And we named her Heaven, but a child's not all it takes
But I'll stay and I'll stay for heaven's sake.

You often send me roses and kiss me when you leave home
And you pick out my shirt and tie like nothing's ever wrong
But we're only fooling Heaven, we can't make a mistake
I won't leave you, I'll see it through for Heaven's sake.

Christmas trees and make believe for Heaven's sake
Ginger mint and let's pretent if that's what it takes
Evening prayers and pigtails,
Teddy bears and wishing wells for Heaven's sake.

Rollerskates and skinned up knee and dirty face
I kiss her hurt until her tears are all erased
Baby dolls and your high heels
Lollipops before her meal for Heaven's sake...

Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty

(Loretta)
Release me darlin', let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again.

(Conway)
Oh, I have found a new love dear.
And I'll always want her near.
Her lips are warm while yours are cold.
Release me, darling, let me go.

--- Instrumental ---

(Both)
Please release me, let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again.

Please release me, let me go.
I don't love you anymore.
To live together is a sin.
Release me and let me love again...

Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty

You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Whenever I need you
All I have to do is close my eyes.

You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind.
Wrap me in your warmness,
And let me feel your body close to mine.

Everything you say and do
Finds me wanting more of you.
And each moment
Brings to life a million dreams.

Heavens something real
Yes, its something I can feel
When I feel your angel touch
All over me.

You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Oh, there’s not a part of me
Your sweet love don’t reach to satisfy.

Every day I need you more,
You’re the one I’m livin’ for
And the best you’ll give
You’ve given me.

You completely satisfy
Every need I have inside
And I pray you’ll never take
Your love from me.

You lay so easy on my mind
Oh, so easy on my mind
Oh, there’s not a part of me
Your sweet love don’t reach to satisfy.

Oh, there’s not a part of me
Your sweet love don’t reach to satisfy...

Ah, your warm lips are inviting as they tremble with desire
And everytime I see you it adds more fuel to the fire
And again we'll share the love that's shouldn't be
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me.

But our patiences are stronger then the will to do what's right
While someone else waits at home we'll meet again tonight
Then I'll hold you close and love you tenderly
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me.

--- Instrumental ---

While hiding in the shadows our love blooms at night
Though we know it's wrong we still go on
We've lost control of all that's right
But if the love's so strong this wrong why should it be
Just between the three of us, our conscience you and me...

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 be 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
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.

Tell me darling have I been away too long
I know I was wrong to leave
But now all I wanna do is come back home
You're just too much to me I know I should've known.

You were just too much woman for me to leave alone...

Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye, bye my love, bye, bye.

There goes my baby with someone new
She sure looks happy and I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been.

Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye, bye love, bye, bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness I feel like I could die.
Bye, bye my love, bye, bye.

Well, I'm through with you Conway, I'm through with love
Yeah, I'm through with countin' the stars above
And here's the reason that I'm so free
My lovin' baby is through with me.

Bye, bye love, bye, bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye, bye love, bye, bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness I feel like I could die.
Bye, bye my love, bye, bye.

Bye bye love bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness, I think I'm a gonna cry
Bye, bye love, bye, bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness I feel like I could die.
Bye, bye my love, bye, bye...

I can't believe the life we live
Or the love that we can't give to each other
I only know my dreams are gone
And that you've been carrying on with another.

That won't let us stop it
We're too blind to drop it
So we still go on
Living together alone.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh, I don't know how long we'll survive
Living here where love has died. it's a wonder
Loneliness surrounds this house now
We'll get by I don't how we're together.

A house that's dividing will tumble to the ground
And yet we still go on living together alone.
And yet we still go on living together alone...

(Conway Twitty)

I do my best to shield her from the hurt I'm finding now
And I try hard not to give him reason to die
We'd play our part so well we still have the love in trust
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?

Us, two people that were meant for each other
Us, a happinees we found
Us, the reason for the chance we are taking
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?

I tell her I miss her when I'm away from home
And he thinks I get lonely when he leaves me alone
The moments we steal soon won't be enough
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?

Us. two people that were meant for each other
Us, a happinees we found
Us, the reason for the chance we are taking
Oh, what are we gonna do about us?...

Well, she packed my bags and kicked me out
When we were havin' bad times
Looking back I can see it was over nothin'
Since then there's been too much
Red wine and women messin' up my mind.
But nothin' can compare with baby's lovin'.

At two o'clock this mornin' I made up my mind
I'm gonna go back home to my sweet baby
I'm lookin' though the window at the city for the last time
Lord knows this life it'll drive me crazy.

Well, I walked out on the highway
'Caught a semi headed home
I hope she'll take me back, oh Lord, I'm prayin'
Now, I'm standin' at the front door hopin' I'll find her all alone
Then I heard her sweet voice sayin'.

And she said if you touch me you've got to love me
And if you love me you'll have to stay with me forever
And I'll forgive you and love will be like it should be
So if you touch me you've got to love me.
If you touch me you've got to love me...

Other arms have held me before your time
Other lips have thrilled me before your time
Other eyes have seen the light you see in my eyes tonight
Oh, but darling, that was long bofore your time.

Other hearts have been broken before your time
Unkind words were spoken before your time
Other ears have heard me say the things I say to you today
But darling, that was long before your time.

Before you came along I sang this same old song before
The melody was born when we walk right to love's door
The words I love you came but I just couldn't sing that line
Oh, but darling that was long before your time.

--- Instrumental ---
