Betty Ann Lyrics by Greg Brown

Over and Under

0

Betty Ann, Betty Ann, marry me while you can
It's the appointed hour, let us make haste
Them things is knockin', honey, down around your waist
As it happens, tonight I'm somewhat 'faced
Betty Ann, Betty Ann, marry me while you can
Betty Ann, Betty Ann, listen up, understand
Well, I love you as I've often said
With your hair so black and your eyes so red
And your old boyfriend, well, Christ, he's dead
Betty Ann, Betty Ann, marry me while you can
Betty Ann, Betty Ann, girl the time is at hand
Ah, the way I see it, we got 'bout three good years
I know the justice, and I got nine beers
Stand up woman, dry up them tears
Betty Ann, Betty Ann, marry me while you can
Betty Ann
Betty Ann, Betty Ann, I'm a very lonesome man
Well, Linda married Donny, Sue married Gene
Verna married Harold, and Wanda married Dean
And I got the Zippo, if you got the gasoline
Betty Ann, Betty Ann, oh, marry me while you can
Betty Ann, marry me
Oh Betty Ann
Oh Betty Ann
