Charming Betsy - Henry Thomas

I’m going around the mountain charming Betsy

Going around the mountain to leave If I never see you no more

Do Lord remember me The first time I see charming Betsy

She want everything that she see Last time I seen charming Betsy

She’s wearing the ball and chain

I’m going around the mountain charming Betsy

Going around the mountain to leave If I never see you no more

Do Lord remember me

I’m going around the mountain charming Betsy

Going around the mountain to leave If I never see you no more

Do Lord remember me I went down to Huntsville town

I did not go to stay I just got there to do time

To wear that ball and chain

I’m going around the mountain charming Betsy

Going around the mountain to leave If I never see you no more

Do Lord remember me Yellow gal rides in an automobile

Brown skin do the same Black gal rides in an old airship

But she riding just the same

I’m going around the mountain charming Betsy

Going around the mountain to leave If I never see you no more

Do Lord remember me
