well loretta, she's a bar-room 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 laughin' 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?
darlin', put your guitar on
have a little shot of booze
play a blue and wailin' song
my guitar rings a melody
my guitar sings, loretta's fine
long and lazy, blonde and free
i can have her any time
sweetest at the break of day
prettiest in the settin' 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 dancin' slippers on
keep me on your mind a while
i'll be back babe to make you smile
loretta, she's a bar-room girl
wears them sevens on her sleeve
dances like a diamond shines
tell me lies i love to believe
