Townes Van Zandt - Loretta

The song was initially to be heard on Townes' phantastic live record "Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas", recorded in 1973 and released in 1977.
The first studio version of the song is incuded on the 1978 album "Flyin' Shoes".

"Oh Loretta she's a barroom girl
Wears them sevens 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"

Clint Miller - Bertha Lou

A John Marascalco songwriting.

Initially released by Dorsey Burnette on the Surf label in November 1957.
I prefer Clint Miller's version that came out on ABC-Paramount one month later.
Tav Falco's Panther Burns covered the song on their 1982 EP "Blow Your Top".

"Hey, hey, Bertha Lou
I wanna conjugate with you
You know my blood is running wild
And I know you ain't no child
When you do what you do, Bertha Lou"

 
Old Crow Medicine Show - Caroline

Closing track of their third studio album "Tennessee Pusher", released in 2008.
