CHARMING BETSY

Rich gal rides in a big limousine
Poor gal she does the same
My gal she rides in a T-model ford
But she's ridin' just the same.

She'll be coming round the mountain, charmin' Betsy
She'll be coming round the mountain, Cora Lee
If I never get to see you again
Good Lord, remember me.

Rich gal sleeps on a big feather bed
Poor gal she does the same
My gal she sleeps on a pallet on the floor
But she's snoozin just the same.

She'll be coming round the mountain, charmin' Betsy
She'll be coming round the mountain, Cora Lee
If I never get to see you again
Good Lord, remember me.

Rich man lives in a big brick house
Poor man he does the same
I live way down in the county jail
It's a brick house just the same.

She'll be coming round the mountain, charmin' Betsy
She'll be coming round the mountain, Cora Lee
If I never get to see you again
Good Lord, remember me.
