Loretta

One, two, three, four

Well, Loretta, she's my barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always 22
Her laughing eyes are hazel hue
Spends my money like water falls
Loves me like I want her to
Loves me like I want her to

Loretta, won't you say to me
Darling, put your guitar on
Have a little shot of booze
Play a blue on a wailing song?
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings, Loretta's fine
Long and lazy, blonde and free
And I can have her anytime
I can have her anytime

The sweetest at the break of day
Prettiest in setting sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
At least not 'til 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 there to make you smile
I'll be back there to make you smile

Well, Loretta, she's my barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
She tells me lies I love to believe
