Loretta Lynn – Who Was That Stranger lyrics

(Curly Putman - Don Cook - Max D. Barnes)

He rode in with the sunset and turned the TV on
We didn't talk through supper and went to bed alone
I was softly awakened by such a extasy
Was I only dreamin' that he did sweet love to me.

Who was that stranger that rode through here last night
He slipped into our room when I turned out the light
Who was that stranger with my ring on his hand
Whoever he was I hope he'll ride this way again.

--- Instrumental ---

This morning over coffee love look was in his eyes
His touch was so familiar when he kissed me goodbye
I watched him through the window and as he rode away
He left me with the mem'ries that I'll dream about all day.

Who was that stranger that rode through here last night
He slipped into our room when I turned out the light
Who was that stranger with my ring on his hand
Whoever he was I hope he'll ride this way again.

I know that stranger that rode through here last night
I bet you a dollar that he'll be back tonight...
