Loretta

I wrote this, uh

This is about a girl, uh

Named Diane that, uh I met while I was going with a girl named, uh Sally

And I was married to a girl named, uh

Remember time flies like an arrow

Fruit lies like a banana

Well, Loretta, she's my barroom girl

Wears them 7s on her sleeve

Dances like a diamond shines

Tells 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

Well, 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 anytime

Yeah, sweetest at the break of day

Prettiest in the 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'm coming home, I'm coming home

Well, Loretta, she's my barroom girl

Wears them 7s on her sleeve

Dances like a diamond shines

Tells me lies I love to believe

Her age is always 22

Her laughing eyes a hazel hue

Spends my money like waterfalls

Loves me like I want her to

Loves me like I want her to
