Loretta (Live at the Old Quarter)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, Loretta, she's a barroom girl Wears them 7s on her sleeve Dances like a diamond shines Tells 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 [Verse 2] Ah 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 I can have her anytime [Verse 3] Sweetest at the break of day Prettiest in the setting sun She don't cry when I can't stay At 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'll be back, babe, to make you smile [Outro] Loretta, she's a barroom girl Wears them 7s on her sleeve Dances like a diamond shines Tells me lies I love to believe
