Lyrics
Well a goodbye tub and clothes line goodbye pots and pans
I’m a-gonna take a Greyhound bus as further 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 don’t leave me alone”
“Hey Loretta swear I’m a-gonna treat you better
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 a 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 swear I’m a-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 a-gonna know what I’ll be doin’ there
I’ll be swingin’ from the chandelier and bouncin’ off the wall
And ‘stead of lovin’ just one man I’m a-gonna love ‘em all

And you’ll say “Hey Loretta I love you more than my Irish Setter”
“Hey Loretta don’t leave me alone”
“Hey Loretta swear I’m a-gonna treat you better
Buy you brand new overalls if you’d only come back home”
