WON’T YOU COME HOME (AND TALK TO A STRANGER)
(Wayne Kemp)

Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn - 1969

Also recorded by :
George Strait


Well I was out a drinkin’ with a couple friends of mine
When the bartended handed me the telephone,
Said: “There’s a wife on the line”

We’ll I told her I was just a drinkin' with a couple of buddies 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”
“Won’t You Come Home And Talk To A Stranger”
“It’s the only place in days you haven’t been”

Well I sat their about an hour a talking with the rest of the guys
When she walked through that front door she had “GET HOME” in her eyes
She said “You talked and dance with every women in town but me”
"If you’ll just come around the house you might like my company"

She said:
“Won’t You Come Home And Talk To A Stranger”
…I’m listening Honey…

Yeah “You might even make yourself a friend”
…Ah Honey I can use a good friend…

“Won’t You Come Home And Talk To A Stranger”
…you don’t have to hold my ear…

“It’s the only place in days you haven’t been”
…I’m ready Honey, I’m ready…

“It’s the only place in days you haven’t been”
