Well, goodbye, tub and clothesline
Goodbye, pots and pans
I'm gonna take a greyhound bus
As further as I can
I ain't gonna wash no windows
And I ain't 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, don't leave me alone
Hey, Loretta
I swear I'm gonna treat you better
I'll buy you brand new overalls
If you'd only 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
Is gonna start right now
And you'll say, hey, Loretta
I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey, Loretta, don't leave me alone
Hey, Loretta
I swear I'm gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls
If you'd only come back home
I'll dress up like a movie star
And pretty up my hair
And no one here is gonna know
What I'll be doing there
I'll be swinging from a chandelier
And bouncing off the wall
Instead of loving just one man
I'm gonna love them all
And you'll say, hey, Loretta
I love you more than my Irish Setter
Hey, Loretta, don't leave me alone
Hey, Loretta
I swear I'm gonna treat you better
I'll buy you brand new overalls
If you'd only come back home
