Loretta

 EAE
 Well Loretta she's a barroom girl
 AE
 Wears them sevens on her sleeves
 EAE
 Dances like a diamond shines
 AE
 Tells me lies I love to b'lieve

 B7
 Her age is always twenty two
 AE
Her laughin' eyes a hazel hue
 EAE
 Spends my money like water falls
 AE
 Loves me like I want her to
 AE
 Loves me like I want her to

Well Loretta won't you say to me
Darlin' put your guitar on
Have another shot of booze
Play a blue and wailin' song

My guitar sings a melody
My guitar rings "Loretta's fine"
Long and lazy, blond and free
And I can have her any time
I can have her any time

Sweetest at the break a day
Prettiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
'Least not 'til she's all alone

Loretta I won't be gone long
Leave your dancin' slippers on
Keep me on your mind a while
I'll be back to make you smile.
I'll be back to make you smile
I'll be back to make you smile
I'll be back...
