Loretta she's my ballroom girl Where then sevens on her sleeves Loves me like a diamond shine Tells me lies I love to believe Her age is always 22 Her laughing in eyes will hazel you Spends my money like waterfalls And loves me like I want her to Oh Loretta why don't you say to me Darling put you guitar on Have another shot at boze and play Blues and them awful song My guitar rings a melody My guitar sings Loretta is fine Long and lazy belong and free I can have her anytime Sweetest at the day of break Prettiest in the setting sun She don't cry when I can't stay At least until she's all alone Loretta I won't be gone long Go put your dancing slippers on Hold me in your mind awhile I'll be back baby to make you smile I'm coming home I'm coming home
