Ballad Of Ole Betsy lyrics

Betsy, Betsy, ahhhhh

She was born in `32, and was she ever pretty
She rode a freight train west, all the way from Detroit city
Betsy`s seen more places than I`ll ever hope to see
Betsy`s been more loyal than any friend could be

With some she traveled fast, with others it was slow
Betsy`s seen them all, she`d seen them come and go
She must have had some others before I finally met her
And now that she`s all mine, they`d better just forget her
Betsy was a lady and that she will remain
Betsy took some beatings but she never once complained

She had a classic beauty that everyone could see
I was the last to meet her, but she gave her life to me
She may be rusted iron, but to me she`s solid gold
And I just can`t hold the tears back
`Cause Betsy`s growing old
