Jess Williamson - Loretta Lyrics




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 til 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
