Loretta lyrics by Charley Crockett
Oh, Loretta, she’s a ballroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always twenty-two
Her laughin’ eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like waterfalls
Loves me like I want her to
Oh, Loretta, won’t you say to me
Darlin’, put your guitar on
Have a little shot of booze
Play a blue and a wailin’ song
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings Loretta’s fine
Long and lazy, brown and free
And I can have her any time
Sweetest at the break of day
Prettiest in the settin’ 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 dancin’ slippers on
Keep me on your mind awhile
I’m comin’ home, I’m comin’ home
Oh, Loretta, she’s a ballroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always twenty-two
Her laughin’ eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like waterfalls
Loves me like I want her to
Loves me like I want her to
Loves me like I want her to
