Henry Thomas — Charmin' Betsy lyrics

Lyrics

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 went down to Huntsville town: I did not go to stay
I just got there to do time: to wear that ball and chain
Yellow gal rides in an automobile: brownskin do the same
Black gal rides in an old airship: but she riding just
the same
