- Songwriters: Townes Zandt Van
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 22, her laughing eyes are hazel hue
Spends my money like waterfalls, loves me like I want her to
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, blond and free, I can have her any time
Sweetest at the break of day, prettiest 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'm coming home, I'm coming home
Loretta, she's my barroom girl, wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines, tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always 22, her laughing eyes are hazel hue
Spends my money like waterfalls, loves me like I want her to
Spends my money like waterfalls, loves me like I want her to
