Loretta Lyrics


Well Loretta, she's a bar-room girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tell me lies I love to believeHer age is always 22
Her laughin' eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like water falls
Loves me like I want her toOh Loretta, won't you say to me?
Darlin', put your guitar on
Have a little shot of booze
Play a blue and wailin' songMy guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings, Loretta's fine
Long and lazy, blonde and free
I can have her any timeSweetest at the break of day
Prettiest in the settin' sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
'Least not till she's all aloneLoretta, 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 smileLoretta, she's a bar-room girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tell me lies I love to believe

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Townes Van Zandt (John Townes Van Zandt, born at Fort Worth, Texas, March 7, 1944 and died at Smyrna, Tennessee, January 1, 1997). He was a country and folk singer and poet. While alive, Van Zandt was labelled as a cult musician. Though he had a small and devoted fanbase, he never had a successful album or single, and even had difficulty keeping his recordings in print. Many of his songs, including "If I Needed You," "To Live Is To Fly," and "No Place to Fall" are considered standards of their genre. AllMusic has called him "one of the greatest country and folk artists of his generation."
