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
