Betty Mae, Betty Mae, you shall be my wife someday
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 heart string, you is my destiny
Betty Mae, you is my heart string, 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
Little girl, my life seem so misery
Baby, I guess it must be love, now
Lord that's takin' effect on me
Some day I will return with the marriage license in my hand
Some day I will return with the marriage license in my hand
I'm 'on' take you for a honeymoon in some long, long distant land
Betty Mae, Betty Mae, you shall be my wife someday
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 heart string, you is my destiny
Betty Mae, you is my heart string, 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
Little girl, my life seem so misery
Baby, I guess it must be love, now
Lord that's takin' effect on me
Some day I will return with the marriage license in my hand
Some day I will return with the marriage license in my hand
I'm 'on' take you for a honeymoon in some long, long distant land
