Capo on 2
D G D
Well Loretta she's my barroom girl
G D
Wears them sevens on her sleeves
D G D
Dances like a diamond shines
G D
Tells me lies I love to b'lieve
A7
Her age is always twenty two
G D
Her laughin' eyes a hazel hue
D G D
Spends my money like water falls
G D
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, blond and free
I can have her any time
Sweetest at the break a day
Prettiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
Least not 'til 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
