Well Loretta won't you say to me Darlin' put your guitar on Have a little shot of booze Play a blue and wailin' song My guitar rings a melody My guitar sings "Loretta's fine" Long and lazy, blonde and free 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 dancin' slippers on Keep me on your mind a while I'll be back babe, to make you smile

And I'm forever blue

A

But I'm sure wanting you Skies full of silver and gold Try to hide the sun But it can't be done Least not for long And if we help each other grow While the light of day Smiles down our way Then we can't go wrong Time, she's a fast old train She's here then she's gone And she won't come again Won't you take my hand If I had no place to fall And I needed to Could I count on you To lay me down?

My flyin' shoes Spring only sighed Summer had to be satisfied Fall is a feelin' that I just can't lose I'd like to stay Maybe watch a winter day Turn the green water To white and blue Flyin' shoes Flyin' shoes Till I be tyin' on My flyin' shoes The mountain moon Forever sets too soon Bein' alone is all the hills can do Alone and then Her silver sails again And they will follow In their flyin' shoes Flyin' shoes They will follow in their Flyin' shoes Days full of rain Skies comin' down again I get so tired Of the same old blues Same old song Baby, it won't be long Till I be tyin' on My flyin' shoes Flyin' shoes Till I be tyin' on My flyin' shoes

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire Used a cobra snake for a neck tie Well, I got me a house on roadside Made out of rattlesnake hide Well, I got me a chimney made on top Made out of human skull Come on, take a little walk with me, Arleen Tell me, who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Got a tombstone set and graveyard mind Just thirty-one, and I don't don't mine dying Who do you love? ... Well the night was black and the sky was blue And down the alley an ice wagon flew Door bumped open and somebody screamed You shoulda heard just what I seen Who do you love? ... Well, I ride around, use a rattlesnake whip Take it easy baby, don't give me no lip Who do you love? ... Arleen took me by the hand Said, alright daddy, I understand Who do you love? ...

Early in the morning Darling she's a red haired thing Man, she makes my legs to sing Gonna buy her a diamond ring Early in the morning Mother was a golden girl I slit her throat just to get her pearls Cast myself into a whirl Before a bunch of swine It's a long way down the Harlan road Busted back and a heavy load Won't get through to save my soul Early in the morning I've always been a gambling man I've rolled them bones with either hand Seven is a promised land Early in the morning Whiskey 'd be my dying bed Tell me where to lay my head Not with me is all she said Early in the morning If I had a dollar bill Yes I believe I surely will I'll go to town and drink my fill Early in the morning

It makes no difference, to my thinkin'

I'll be here when, you start sinkin'
