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
