Pretty Betty Martin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe fine
Big boys, little boys, up and down the holler
Pretty Betty Martin's got ’em all a-cryin'

[Chorus]
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe fine
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Put on a red dress and say you're mine

[Verse 2]
Look out, yonder comes pretty Betty Martin
Pigtail swingin’ and dresstail flyin'
Up the middle, down the middle
Lordie, she sure can tiptoе fine

[Chorus]
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoе, tiptoe
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe fine
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Put on a red dress and say you're mine

[Verse 3]
First time I saw pretty Betty Martin
I thought that gal could tiptoe fine
Next time I saw pretty Betty Martin
Stand back big boys, this'ns mine!

[Chorus]
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe fine
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Put on a red dress and say you're mine

[Instrumental Break]
(Look at that young 'un dance!)

[Verse 4]
Swing your partner up and down the holler
Swing that gal and pat her on the head
Swing her up on her tippy-tippy tiptoe
She don't like biscuits, feed 'er cornbread

[Chorus]
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe fine
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Put on a red dress and say you’re mine
