The girl just left the hole to meet the day
Collecting flesh and bones along the way
A gorgeous bride adorns my sight
The moon lights up her face the whole night long
She rests there in the willow, singing beautiful songs
A gorgeous bride adorns my sight
Oh, come on, black Betty, black Betty, come on
Oh, come on, black Betty, I can't make it alone
The girls all keep on giggling and pointing at her
The boys all roll their eyeballs while they're dreaming of her
A gorgeous bride
Oh, come on, black Betty, black Betty, come on
Oh, come on, black Betty, black Betty, come on
Oh, come on, black Betty, black Betty, come on
Oh, come on, black Betty, I can't make it alone
Oh, come on, black Betty, black Betty, come on
Oh, come on, black Betty, black Betty, come on
Oh, come on, black Betty, black Betty, come on
Oh, come on, black Betty, I can't make it alone
