If I only could see you again
I would start my life all over again
If I only could see you again
I would start my life all over again

Dear Betty

Doont da doont doont doo-doo doo doo

My father used to beat me up every night—just for being alive!

Doont da doont doont doo-doo doo doo
Doont da doont doont doo-doo doo doo
Y'see my mother died when I was five—God bless her!

Doont da doont da doo-doo doo doo
Doont da doont da doo-doo doo doo
You were the only thing I ever had
So we walked into our marriage ??????????
And we had a baby boy and I—
Ah ah aah aaaaaah
Ah ah aah aaaaaah
Ah ah aah aaaaaah
Ah ah aah aaah
—sold 'im—for five thousand dollars!

Doont da doont doont doo-doo doo doo
Doont da doont doont doo-doo doo doo
So buddy if you get me outta this cotton-pickin' prison
I'll dig up the five thousand dollars I buried
And start life all over again

If I only could see you again
I would start my life all over again
If I only could see you again
I would start my life all over again
