Loretta, Loretta, won’t you please come back home
How could you leave me here all alone
As long as live I will never know why
You left me without ever saying goodbye
Loretta, Loretta, oh where did you go
I wish I could find you, I wish could know
Why our future, our present just weren’t gonna last
Why our future will always belong in the past
I remember the day I knew you were gone
The day that I swore that I couldn’t go on
Somehow I’m still standing, just standing alone
Loretta, Loretta won’t you please come back home
Loretta, Loretta won’t you please come back home
How could you leave me here all alone
As long as live I will never know why
You left me without ever saying goodbye
Oh, I still remember those days way back when
You in the garden with the Dominicker hens
Those chickens and eggs, they don’t care which came first
Our days were the best and the end was the worst
Loretta, Loretta oh where did you go
To the heavens above or the fire down below
