Van Zandt, Townes - Loretta Lyrics
Oh Loretta she's a barroom girl
Wears them sevens on her sleeve
Dances like a diamond shines
Tell me lies I love to believe
Her age is always 22
Spends my money like water falls
Loves me like I want her to
Oh, Loretta, won't you say to me
Darling, put your guitar on
Have a little shot of booze
Play a blue a and wailing song
My guitar rings a melody
My guitar sings, Loretta's fine
And I can have her any time
Sweetest at the break of day
Prettiest in the setting sun
She don't cry when I can't stay
'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, babe, to make you smile

Van Zandt, Townes Loretta Comments
This version of Townes singing “Loretta” is my personal favorite, but for a Hi-Octane “hillbilly” sound go to his ‘Nashville Sessions.’ It’ll cheer you up. While in ‘Nashville,’ listen to “White Freightliner.” Wow! If I’m not mistaken, Steve Earle recorded “Loretta.” You might like it...
I've met many Lorettas in my young life
the “Nashville” version.
Just got this on vinyl. This track rules.
