| Betty walked in with a red dress on
|
| Charlie’s first glance, he was fallin' in love
|
| He didn’t have to say what he felt that day
|
| So Charlie promised Betty she had his heart
|
| And Betty promised Charlie they’d never
|
| Part till their dyin' day
|
| Well, it didn’t take long for the winds to change
|
| Charlie’s busy workin', Betty’s home each day
|
| And Charlie never knew 'bout Betty feelin' blue
|
| So Charlie promised Betty she had his heart
|
| And Betty promised Charlie they’d never
|
| Part till their dyin' day
|
| For so long things have been so wrong
|
| Charlie always thought that he’d always be true
|
| But he didn’t know what a broken heart could do
|
| Till Betty walked in with her blue dress on
|
| At Charlie’s first glance, he knew she was gone
|
| She didn’t have to say why she left that day
|
| But Betty promised Charlie he had her heart
|
| And Charlie promised Betty they’d never
|
| Part till his dyin' day
|
| Betty walked up with her black dress on
|
| We all wondered if she would come and
|
| What she’d have to say
|
| Charlie’s restin' place
|
| But Betty had it written on Charlie’s grave
|
| «You had my heart till your dyin' day»
|
| That’s what I came to say |
