Ballad Of Ole Betsy by The Beach Boys
Ballad Of Ole Betsy
C Am Em A7
Betsy, Betsy,
F Dm7 G7
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
C Em
She was born in 'thirty-two
F G7
And was she ever pretty
C Em
She rode a freight train west
F E7
All the way from Detroit City
Am7 C
Betsy's seen more places
F Fm
Than I'll ever hope to see
Em7 Am7
Betsy's been more loyal
Dm7 G7
Than any friend could be
C Em
With some she traveled fast
F G7
With others it was slow
C Em
Betsy's seen them all
F E7
She's seen them come and go
Am7 C
She must have had some favorites
F Fm
Before I finally met her
Em7 Am7
And now that she's all mine
Dm7 G7
They better just forget her
C C7
Betsy was a lady
F Fm
And that she will remain
Em7 Am7
Betsy took some beatings
Dm7 G7
But she never once complained
C Em
She had a classic beauty
F G7
That everyone could see
C Em
I was the last to meet her
F E7
But she gave her life to me
Am7 C
She may be rusted iron
F Fm
But to me she's solid gold
Em7 Am7
And I just can't hold the tears back
Dm7 G7 F C
'Cause Betsy's growing old
