Loretta lyrics

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
