Betty Mae, Betty Mae, you shall be my wife someday

I wants a little sweet girl, that will do anything, that I say



Betty Mae, you is my heartstring, you is my destiny

Betty Mae, you is my heartstring, you is my destiny

And you rolls across my mind, baby, each and every day



Li'l girl, li'l girl, my life seem so misery

Hmm hmm, little girl, my life seem so misery

Baby, I guess it must be love, now, hoo mm, Lord that's takin' effect on me



Some day I will return, with the1 marriage license in my hand

Some day I will return, hoohoo, with a marriage license in my hand

I'm gon' take you for a honeymoon, in some long, long distant land
