| 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’m going around the mountain charming Betsy
|
| Going around the mountain to leave If I never see you no more
|
| Do Lord remember me
|
| 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 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
|
| 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 Yellow gal rides in an automobile
|
| Brown skin do the same Black gal rides in an old airship
|
| But she riding just the same
|
| 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 |
