D                     G       D 
Well Loretta she's my barroom girl 
G                        D 
Wears them sevens on her sleeves 
D             G       D 
Dances like a diamond shines 
G                       D 
Tells me lies I love to b'lieve 
 
A7 
Her age is always twenty two 
    G                     D 
Her laughin' eyes a hazel hue 
D                    G     D 
Spends my money like water falls 
G                        D 
Loves me like I want her to 
 
Well Loretta won't you say to me 
Darlin' put your guitar on 
Have a little shot of booze 
Play a blue and wailin' 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 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 
Keep your dancin' slippers on 
Keep me on your mind a while 
I'll be back babe, to make you smile
