Loretta

One, two, three, four Well, 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 22 Her laughing eyes are hazel hue Spends my money like water falls Loves me like I want her to 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 on a wailing song? My guitar rings a melody My guitar sings, Loretta's fine Long and lazy, blonde and free And I can have her anytime I can have her anytime The sweetest at the break of day Prettiest in 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'll be back there to make you smile I'll be back there to make you smile Well, Loretta, she's my barroom girl Wears them sevens on her sleeve Dances like a diamond shines She tells me lies I love to believe
