Charmin' Betsy

Don't cross the plains, Charmin' Betsy, don't cross the mountains, Cora Lee

If I never ever see you again, great God! Remember me!

Rich gal, she drives a brand new Rolls, poor gal, she drives a Model A

My gal, she only has to use her thumb, she gets there, just the same

Don't cross the plains, Charmin' Betsy, don't cross the mountains, Cora Lee

If I never ever see you again, great God! Remember me!

Rich gal, she lives in a big white house, poor gal, she lives in a frame

My gal she lives in the Nashville jail, it's a brick house, just the same

Don't cross the plains, Charmin' Betsy, don't cross the mountains, Cora Lee

If I never ever see you again, great God! Remember me!

Rich gal, she smells like sweet perfume, poor gal, she'd like to smell the same

My gal, she smells like a billy goat, it's her smell, just the same

Don't cross the plains, Charmin' Betsy, don't cross the mountains, Cora Lee

If I never ever see you again, great God! Remember me!

Rich gal she wears the finest clothes, poor gal, she'd like to wear the same

My gal, she doesn't wear a doggone thing, but I love her, Yeah!, just the same

Don't cross the plains, Charmin' Betsy, don't cross the mountains, Cora Lee

If I never ever see you again, great God! Remember me!

If I never ever see you again great God remember me!
