Josh Ritter – Loretta (Ukulele)

-------------

C                    F       C
Well Loretta she's a barroom girl

F                        C
Wears them sevens on her sleeves

C             F       C
Dances like a diamond shines

F                       C
Tells me lies I love to b'lieve

G7
Her age is always twenty two

    F                     C
Her laughin' eyes a hazel hue

C                    F     C
Spends my money like water falls

F                        C
Loves me like I want her to

F                        C
Loves me like I want her to

Well Loretta won't you say to me Darlin' put your guitar on Have another shot of booze Play a blue and wailin' song My guitar sings a melody My guitar rings "Loretta's fine" Long and lazy, blond and free And I can have her any time I can have her any time Sweetest at the break a day Prettiest in the setting sun She don't cry when I can't stay 'Least not 'til she's all alone Loretta I won't be gone long Leave your dancin' slippers on Keep me on your mind a while I'll be back to make you smile. I'll be back to make you smile I'll be back to make you smile I'll be back...
