Loretta |
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 |
