townes van zandt - loretta (live at the old quarter) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well, loretta, she’s a barroom girl
wears them 7s on her sleeve
dances like a diamond shines
tells me lies i love to believe

her age is always 22
her laughing eyes a hazel hue
spends my money like water falls
loves me like i want her to

[verse 2]
ah 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, blonde and free
i can have her anytime

[verse 3]
sweetest at the break of day
prettiest in the setting sun
she don’t cry when i can’t stay
at 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’ll be back, babe, to make you smile

[outro]
loretta, she’s a barroom girl
wears them 7s on her sleeve
dances like a diamond shines
tells me lies i love to believe
