Loretta Lynn

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

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

He doesn't know that I can't look him in the eyes
For that I can't speak or I'll start tellin' lies
I hope he thinks that I'm just moody and quiet
But another man loved me last night.

Yes, another man loved me last night
I'd almost forgotten what love was really like
But I'm only human, only a woman
I let another man love me last night.

While he's sleepin', well, I'm crying here awake
Not being loved was more than I could take
So it was wrong, there in his arms, it seemed so right
When another man loved me last night.

Yes, another man loved me last night
I'd almost forgotten what love was really like
But I'm only human, only a woman
I let another man love me last night...

Hello (hello Loretta) darlin' I knew it was you
(Loretta there's something I just got to tell you)
Oh please tell me what to do
(I don't really know how to say this but I want to tell you that I)

You gave me the will to go on as soon as I picked up the phone
(No no you don't understand Loretta I'm trying to tell you that I)
The talk is around that we're through (yeah I know I've heard it too)
Oh darling tell me what to do

(But that's just it that's what I'm trying to tell you I want to tell you that)
I knew you'd tell me they were wrong as soon as I picked up the phone
(Oh but it's true they're not wrong)
Oh no (I'm sorry Loretta) oh no I can't believe that it's true

(I'm sorry Loretta I'm really really sorry)
Oh no oh no I can't believe that we're through
(I know you know that I never thought it would come to this)
You tell me it's over and done

(I really thought that I loved you and you know that)
You say that you've had all your fun
(You've just got to believe me that I never meant to hurt you)
But I can't believe you've been gone

(This is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do and it hurts me too)
As soon as I hang up the phone (yeah I'll be gone)
As soon as I hang up the phone (goodbye Loretta)

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love Thou Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh

Away in a manger no crib for a bed...

I just can't get it through my head
You love another now instead
Can't make myself believe we're really through.
I'm walking up and down the hall, talking to the silent wall
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you.

I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you.

I keep your letters, I should burn, I wear your ring, I should return
But there's a million foolish things I do
It makes me cry but you would laugh to know I kiss your photograph
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you.

I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time
I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go
The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same
I'll lose my mind before I'm over you...

You left me for the bright lights of the town.
A country boy set 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 shining in your world?
Some morning when you wake up all alone.
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl.

Don't wait 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 the moon above you.
How bright is it shinin in your world?
Some morning when you wake up all alone.
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl.

Well, I was born a 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 daddy made sure of,
He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar.

My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear Cole Mines,
All day long in a field a-hoein' corn,
Mommy rocked the babies at night,
and read The Bible by the coal-oil light,
And everything would start all over come break of mornin'.

Daddy loved and raised 8 kids on a miner' pay,
Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a wash board every day,
Why, I seen her fingers bleed, to complain, there was no need,
She'd smile in mommy's understanding way.

In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear,
But in the winter time, we'd all get a brand new pair,
From a mail-order catalog, money mad from selling a hog,
Daddy all ways 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 of leavin' Butcher Holler.

Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then,
And it's so good to be back home again,
Not much left but the floor, nothin' lives here anymore,
'Cept the memories of a coal miner's daughter.

Well, they say that I'm too country, the way I look and sound.
They wanna to make me over, just a little more uptown.
Say I need to change my image, now tell me what's that mean.
Don't they know I've got country in my genes?

Well, I can't help the way I talk, I wouldn't change it if I could.
Sophisticated ain't my style, but country fits me good.
I ain't ashamed to wear what's been handed down to me.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.

I've got country in my genes, country in my blood.
It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of.
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see.
I'm just an old hillybilly with a country song to sing.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.

Oh that Earl Scruggs.

If country's hit the big time, me, I'm still the same.
I ain't above my raisin' and I ain't about to change.
I wouldn't trade my Wranglers for the finest gaberdine.
Lord, I've got country in my genes.

I've got country in my genes, country in my blood.
It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of.
It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see.

Lord, I've got country in my genes.
