loretta

well loretta

she's a bar-room girl

wears them sevens on her sleeve

dances like a diamond shines

tell me lies i love to believe

her age is always 22

her laughin' eyes a hazel hue

spends my money like water falls

loves me like i want her to

oh loretta

won't you say to me?

darlin'

put your guitar on

have a little shot of booze

play a blue and wailin' song

my guitar rings a melody

my guitar sings

loretta's fine

long and lazy

blonde and free

i can have her any time

sweetest at the break of day

prettiest in the settin' sun

she don't cry when i can't stay

'least not till she's all alone

loretta

i won't be gone long

keep your dancin' slippers on

keep me on your mind a while

i'll be back babe to make you smile

loretta

she's a bar-room girl

wears them sevens on her sleeve

dances like a diamond shines

tell me lies i love to believe
