Loretta Songtext
von James Maddock

Oh Loretta she′s a barroom 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 water falls
Loves me like I want her to


Oh Loretta baby say to me
Darling put your guitar on
Have a little shot of goose
And play a blue and wailing song
My guitar sings a melody
My guitar sings and Loretta′s fine
Long and lazy blonde and free
And I can have her any any any time

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 dancin' slippers on
Keep me in your mind a while
And I′ll be back to make you smile


Oh Loretta she's a barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tells me lies I want to believe
Her age is always twenty-two
Her laughin′ eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like water falls
Loves me like I want her to
