Hey Loretta (1974)
Well goodbye tub and clothesline, goodbye pots and pans
I’m a-gonna take a greyhound bus just as far as I can
I ain’t a-gonna wash no windows and I ain’t a-gonna scrub no floors
And when you realize I’m gone I’m a-gonna hear you roar

And you’ll say hey Loretta I love you more than my Irish setter
Hey Loretta you don’t need me along
Hey Loretta I swear I’m a-gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you don’t leave, come back home

I work my fingers to the bone and we don’t hardly speak
And all I ever get is a little kiss about once a week
So you can feed the chickens and you can milk the cow
This woman’s liberation honey gonna start right now

And you’ll say hey Loretta I love you more than my Irish setter
Hey Loretta you don’t need me along
Hey Loretta I swear I’m a-gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you don’t leave, come back home

I’ll dress up like a movie star and pretty up my hair
And no one here is a-gonna know what I‘ll doing there
I’ll be swinging from the chandelier and bouncing off the wall
Instead of loving just one man I’ll gonna love them all

And you’ll say hey Loretta I love you more than my Irish setter
Hey Loretta you don’t need me along
Hey Loretta I swear I’m a-gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you don’t leave, come back home
