Lyrics

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 twenty-two
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like waterfalls
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-ant Waylon song
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings Loretta's fine
Long and lazy, blonde and free
And I can have her anytime
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
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 twenty-two
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
Loves me like I want her to
