I'm going around the mountain charming Betsy : going 
around the mountain to leave
If I never see you no more : do Lord remember me
The first time I see charming Betsy : she want everything 
that she see
Last time I seen charming Betsy : she's wearing the ball 
and chain
I went down to Huntsville town : I did not go to stay
I just got there to do time : to wear that ball and chain
Yellow gal rides in an automobile : brownskin do the same
Black gal rides in an old airship : but she riding just 
the same
