Steve Earle — Loretta

[Intro] Here we go [Verse] Oh Loretta, she's a 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 are hazel hue Spends my money like waterfalls Loves me like I want her to [Verse] Oh 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 any time [Verse] 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 awhile I'm coming home, I'm coming home [Verse] Oh Loretta, she's a 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 are hazel hue Spends my money like a water falls Loves me like I want her to [Outro] I'm coming home I'm coming home
