She don't cry when I can't stay
Dances like a diamond shines
Dances like a diamond shines
Loves me like I want her to
Tell me lies I love to believe
Loretta, I won't be gone long
My guitar rings a melody
Oh Loretta, won't you say to me?
Darlin', put your guitar on
I can have her any time
Play a blue and wailin' song
Have a little shot of booze
Her age is always 22
'Least not till she's all alone
Keep your dancin' slippers on
Her laughin' eyes a hazel hue
Long and lazy, blonde and free
Spends my money like water falls
I'll be back babe to make you smile
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Sweetest at the break of day
Loretta, she's a bar-room girl
Keep me on your mind a while
My guitar sings, Loretta's fine
Prettiest in the settin' sun
