[Verse 1]
Loretta she's my ballroom girl
Where then sevens on her sleeves
Loves me like a diamond shine
Tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always 22
Her laughing in eyes will hazel you
Spends my money like waterfalls
And loves me like I want her to

[Verse 2]
Oh Loretta why don’t you say to me
Darling put you guitar on
Have another shot at boze and play
Blues and them awful song
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings Loretta is fine
Long and lazy belong and free
I can have her anytime

[Verse 3]
Sweetest at the day of break
Prettiest in the setting sun
She don’t cry when I can’t stay
At least until she’s all alone
Loretta I won’t be gone long
Go put your dancing slippers on
Hold me in your mind awhile
I’ll be back baby to make you smile
I’m coming home I’m coming home
