Lyrics
By townes van zandt
Oh 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 laughing 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 Darling, put your guitar on Have a little shot of booze Play a blue and wailing song My guitar rings a melody My guitar sings, loretta's fine Long and lazy, blonde and free And I can have her any time
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'm coming home, I'm coming home
Repeat the first verse
