Won't You Come Home and Talk to a Stranger

Loretta Lynn · If We Put Our Heads Together (Loretta Lynn & Ernest Tubb) [1969]

(Wayne Kemp)



Well, I was out a drinking

With a couple of friends of mine

When the bartender handed me the telephone

And said there's my wife on the line.



Well, I told her I was just a drinking

With the couple of biddies I knew

But she told me in a few short words

Just what she wanted me to do.



She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger

You might even make yourself a friend

So won't you come home and talk to a stranger

It's the only place in days you haven't been.

Well, I sat there about an hour

A talking with the rest of the guys

When she walked to that front door

She had gethome in her eyes.



She said you've talked and danced

With every woman in town but me

If you just come around the house

You might like my company.



She said won't you come home and talk to a stranger

You might even make yourself a friend

So won't you come home and talk to a stranger

It's the only place in days you haven't been.



It's the only place in days you haven't been...
