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
|
