Runaway Betty

Run away Betty, run away this time

You're far too pretty to be my type

Run away Betty, run away this time

Keep on going til you're outta my sight

I've heard it's wrong to be a single man

But I try to go fishing whenever I can

These couples around me ain't genuine

It's like chicken soup instead of medicine

So run away Betty run away if you can

For 22 years she held her head too high

She didn't even squint with the sun in her eyes

When she brought her flame to a waterfall

She must've thought It was made of alcohol

So run away Betty, run away from it all

When we first met, we didn't get along

No, I was too busy with my drinking songs

She thought I would change by the denouement

Little did she know she'd end up wrong

So run away Betty, back to Avalon

Now how can a man treat a woman so bad

They should all be shipped off to Stalingrad

Maybe they'll find love with there fellow comrades

But I don't think they're leaving, so you better had

So run away Betty from this world gone mad

Runaway Betty, ran away this time

She was far too pretty, she was far too kind

Runaway Betty ran away this time

Runaway Betty's still on my mind
