Thread Name: Lyr Req: Charming Betsy
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Charming Betsy
Looking for a recording of this song, I found this thread instead. I remember singing in 5th grade music class, now I sing the song to my little granddaughter's as a followup to "she'll be comin' round the mountain".....

Chorus:
All 'round the mountain, charming Betsy
All 'round the mountain, Laura (Cora?) Lee
If I never see her no more
May the good Lord remember me.

V 1
Town gal, she wears a satin dress
Country gal, she wears the same
Mountain gal wears a calico dress
But she gets there just the same.

Chorus

V 2
Town gal, she drives an automobile
country gal, she drives the same
Mountain gal drives an old ox cart
But she gets there just the same.

Chorus
