Ballad of Ole' Betsy The Beach Boys
(Capo 1)
[G]Bet[Em]sy, [Bm]Bets[E7]y,
[C]Ah-ah-ah-[Am7]ah-ah-[D7]ah
She was [G]born in 'thirty[Bm]-two
And [C]was she ever [D7]pretty
She [G]rode a freight train [Bm]west
All the [C]way from Detroit [B7]City
[Em7]Betsy's seen more [G]places
Than I'll [C]ever hope to [Cm]see
[Bm7]Betsy's been more [Em7]loyal
Than [Am7]any friend could [D7]be
With [G]some she traveled [Bm]fast
With [C]others it was [D7]slow
[G]Betsy's seen them [Bm]all
She's [C]seen them come and [B7]go
She [Em7]must have had some [G]favorites
Be[C]fore I finally [Cm]met her
And [Bm7]now that she's [Em7]all mine
They [Am7]better just for[D7]get her
[G]Betsy was a [G7]lady
And [C]that she will re[Cm]main
[Bm7]Betsy took some [Em7]beatings
But she [Am7]never once com[D7]plained
She [G]had a classic [Bm]beauty
That [C]everyone could [D7]see
I [G]was the last to [Bm]meet her
But she [C]gave her life to [B7]me
She [Em7]may be rusted [G]iron
But to [C]me she's solid [Cm]gold
And I [Bm7]just can't hold the [Em7]tears back
'Cause [Am7]Betsy's [D7]growing [C]old [G]
