Betsy Baker Lyrics by Bellowhead

Broadside

0

From noise and bustle far away
As I walked over each acre
I never knew what it was to sigh
'Til I saw Betsy Baker

At church I met her dressed so neat
One Sunday in hot weather
With love I found my heart did beat
As we sang psalms together

So modestly she turned her head
The while her voice did quaver
I thought if ever I did wed
T'would be with Betsy Baker

When church was over, out she went
But I did follow after
Determined I would not be baulked
I spoke to Betsy Baker

But all my entreaties she did slight
And I was forced to leave her
I got not sleep at all that night
For love had brought a fever

From noise and bustle far away
And I walked over each acre
I never knew what it was to sigh
'Til I saw Betsy Baker

At last she got acquainted
With a rambling mad play actor
He gammoned her to run away
And I lost Betsy Baker

But though I strive another way
My heart will never forsake her
I dream all night and think all day
Of cruel Betsy Baker

From noise and bustle far away
And I walked over each acre
I never knew what it was to sigh
Never knew what it was to sigh
Never knew what it was to sigh
'Til I saw Betsy Baker

Ooooh
Aaaah
Ooooh
Aaaah
Ooooh
Aaaah
Ooooh
Aaaah

From noise and bustle far away
And I walked over each acre
I never knew what it was to sigh
'Til I saw Betsy Baker
