Loretta Lynn – Wine, Women, And Song Lyrics

While I’m at home a workin’
And a slavin’ this way
You’re out of misbehavin’
Spendin’ all of your pay
On wine, women and song

While I’m a makin’ bed
You’re out a makin’ time
You robbed my piggy bank
And spent my last thin dime
On wine, women and song

Well one of these nights
You gonna come home
You find it’s comin’ home to you
You see what you’ve done
And what’s good for one
It’s also good for two

When you’re in the doghouse
With the mangy old pup
You may start to thinkin’ and a givin’ up
Your wine, women and song

Well one of these nights
You gonna come home
You find it’s comin’ home to you
You see what you’ve done
And what’s good for one
It’s also good for two

When you’re in the doghouse
With the mangy old pup
You may start to thinkin’ and a givin’ up
Your wine, women and song
