Phrases like “dances like a diamond shines”, “tells me lies I love to believe”, and “loves me like I want her to” make it clear that memories a...

Loretta (Live and Obscure) Lyrics

[Intro]
I wrote this, uh
This is about a girl, uh
Named Diane that, uh I met while I was going with a girl named, uh Sally
And I was married to a girl named, uh
Remember time flies like an arrow
Fruit lies like a banana

[Verse 1]
Well, Loretta, she's my barroom girl
Wears them 7s on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always 22
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like water falls
Loves me like I want her to

[Verse 2]
Well, 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 anytime

[Verse 3]
Yeah, sweetest at the break of day
Prettiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
At least not 'til she's all alone
Loretta, I won't be gone long
Keep your dancing slippers on
Keep me on your mind a while
I'm coming home, I'm coming home

[Outro]
Well, Loretta, she's my barroom girl
Wears them 7s on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tells me lies I love to believe
Her age is always 22
Her laughing eyes a hazel hue
Spends my money like waterfalls
Loves me like I want her to
Loves me like I want her to
