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
