There is a tavern in the town (in the town)
Yeah, that's where the gang would gather 'round (would gather round)
And there you'll find my love, my fallen Betty Lou
But there in the arms of someone new.

Betty Lou, I think you hurt me
Betty Lou, And then desert me
Betty Lou, I wonder who is
Kissin' you tonight.

I got no one for company
I sit alone and watch TV
'Cause when I see a show
And lovers seem just fine
I think of Betty Lou at night.

Betty Lou, I think you hurt me
Betty Lou, And then desert me
Betty Lou, I wonder who is
Kissin' you tonight.

I got no one for company
Oh, I sit alone and watch TV
'Cause when I see a show
When lovers seem just fine
I think of Betty Lou at night.

(Betty Lou) Oh, Betty Lou
(Betty Lou) My, Betty Lou
(Betty Lou) Sweet, Betty Lou
(Betty Lou) Um, Betty Lou
(Betty Lou) Oh, Betty Lou
(Betty Lou) Yes, Betty Lou
(Betty Lou)...
