Boys Beach Ballad Of Ole Betsy Lyrics

Ballad Of Ole Betsy Lyrics

Betsy, Betsy, ahhhhh 

  

 She was born in '32, and was she ever pretty 

 She rode a freight train west, all the way from Detroit city 

 Betsy's seen more places than I'll ever hope to see 

 Betsy's been more loyal than any friend could be 

  

 With some she traveled fast, with others it was slow 

 Betsy's seen them all, she'd seen them come and go 

 She must have had some others before I finally met her 

 And now that she's all mine, they'd better just forget her 

 Betsy was a lady and that she will remain 

 Betsy took some beatings but she never once complained 

  

 She had a classic beauty that everyone could see 

 I was the last to meet her, but she gave her life to me 

 She may be rusted iron, but to me she's solid gold 

 And I just can't hold the tears back 

 'Cause Betsy's growing old
