oh loretta she's a 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
Preattiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when i can't stay
At 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
