Twanging Tuesday # 83

It's not a true twanging tune but it is one of my beloved rockabilly tunes. Released almost 50 years ago it is still a song that is still a mark in this kind of genre. Less artists could give the feeling of a man coming home after a long time to his beloved one. I know that I post it in a sentimental mood - but anyway it is a great song and it is still a pleasure to listen to it from time to time.

Get your face all pretty and your hair done right

Cause we're gonna do the town tonight

Well I'm comin' into town and right on time I still got your lovin' on my mind

I'm a coming home I gotta make some love

I'm a coming home sweet turtle dove

I'm a coming home to make sweet love to you

Well I see down the road there's a big truck stop

They got a pretty little waitress with the carrot top

She's pretty as a doll pretty as can be

But don't you worry honey she ain't nothin' to me

I'm a coming home I gotta make some love

I'm a coming home sweet turtle dove

I'm a coming home to make sweet love to you

Well I came to a hill and the truck looked down

Throwed in low and she's huggin' the ground

Scratchin' gears but I'm goin' again I'm comin' home baby I'm doggin' it in

I'm a coming home I gotta make some love

I'm a coming home sweet turtle dove

I'm a coming home to make sweet love to you

Get your face all pretty and your hair done right

Cause we're gonna do the town tonight

Well I'm comin' into town right on time I still got your lovin' on my mind

I'm a coming home I gotta make some love

I'm a coming home sweet turtle dove

I'm a coming home to make sweet love to you
