_ _ _ _ _ Oh Loretta, she's my barroom girl
[C] Wears them sevens [G] on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
[C] Tells me lies I love to believe
[D] Her age is always twenty-two
[C] Her laughing [G] eyes are hazel hue
Spends my money like [C] waterfalls
Loves me like [G] I want her to
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ Oh Loretta, won't you say to [C] me
Darling, put your [G] guitar on
Have a little shot of [C] booze
Play a blue and wailing [D] song
My guitar rings a melody
[C] My guitar sings [G] Loretta's mind
Long and lazy, blind and [C] free
And I can have her [G] [C] anytime

_ _ _ Oh, [C] sweetest at the break [G] of day
[C] Prettiest in the setting [G] sun
She don't cry when I can't [C] stay
Least not till she's [G] all [D] alone
Loretta, I won't be gone [C] long
Keep your dancing [G] slippers on
Keep me on your mind a [C] while
I'm coming home, I'm [G] coming [C] home

Oh, _ _ Loretta, she's my barroom [C] girl
Wears them [G] sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond [C] shines
Tells me lies I love [D] to believe
Her age is always twenty-two

Spends my money like [C] waterfalls
Loves me like I want her to
Loves me like I [G] want her to
[C] Loves me like I [G] want her [C] to
Loves me like I [G] want her to
