loretta

oh loretta she's my barroom 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 laughing 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

darling

put your guitar on

have a little shot of booze

play a blue a and wailing song

my guitar rings a melody

my guitar sings

loretta's fine

long and lazy

blonde and free

and i can have her any time

sweetest at the break of day

prettiest in the setting 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 dancing slippers on

keep me on your mind a while

i'll be back

babe

to make you smile
