Steve Earle lyrics : "Loretta"

Oh loretta she's a barroom 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 a 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
Preattiest 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'll be back, babe, to make you smile
