Loretta — текст песни (Townes Van Zandt)

By townes van zandt



Oh loretta shes 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

Her laughing eyes a hazel hue

Spends my money like water falls

Loves me like I want her to





Oh, loretta, wont 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, lorettas fine

Long and lazy, blonde and free

And I can have her any time





Sweetest at the break of day

Preattiest in the setting sun

She dont cry when I cant stay

least not till shes all alone

Loretta, I wont be gone long

Keep your dancing slippers on

Keep me on your mind a while

Ill be back, babe, to make you smile
