Loretta

[Intro]

Here we go

[Verse]

Oh Loretta, she's a barroom girl

Wears them sevens on her sleeve

Dances like a diamond shines

Tells me lies I love to believe

Her age is always twenty-two

Her laughing eyes are hazel hue

Spends my money like waterfalls

Loves me like I want her to

[Verse]

Oh Loretta, won't you say to me

"Darling, put your guitar on"?

Have a little shot of booze

Play a blue and wailing song

My guitar rings a melody

My guitar sings, Loretta's fine

Long and lazy, blonde and free

I can have her any time

[Verse]

Sweetest at the break of day

Prettiest 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 awhile

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

[Verse]

Oh Loretta, she's a barroom girl

Wears them sevens on her sleeve

Dances like a diamond shines

Tells me lies I love to believe

Her age is always twenty-two

Her laughing eyes are hazel hue

Spends my money like a water falls

Loves me like I want her to

[Outro]

I'm coming home

I'm coming home
