Well, Loretta she's my barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeves
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 a water falls
Loves me like I want her to

Well. 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
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
Least not till 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 babe to make you smile

Well, Loretta she's my barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeves
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 a water falls
Loves me like I want her to
Loves me like I want her to
Loves me like I want her to
