Cahalen Morrison & Eli West
loretta
Loretta sheâs my barroom girl, wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines, tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always twenty-two, her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like water falls, loves me like I want her to
Loretta wonât you say to me, âDarlinâ put your guitar onâ
Have a little shot of booze, play a blue and wailing song
My guitar rings a melody, my guitar sings Lorettaâs fine
Long and lazy, blonde and free, and I can have her anytime
Sweetest at the break of day, prettiest in the setting sun
She donât cry when I canât stay, at least not âtil sheâs all alone
Loretta I wonât be long gone, keep your dancing slippers on
Keep me on your mind a while, Iâm coming home to make you smile
