[Verse 1]
Loretta, she's 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

[Verse 2]
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 baby to make you smile
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
