Bourbon Betty Lyrics

From the suburbs I come to your town,
I search a woman, the one girl of my own.
It was saturday night when she ran away,
She gave me back my ring and she said she couldn't stay.

My eyes are on the road, my thoughts are on her
And I know I gotta take my

Bourbon Betty back home from Berlin
Bourbon Betty please be back before
Bourbon Betty back home from Berlin
Bourbon Betty please be back before my heart breaks in two

She often told me she'll be leavin' me some day,
But that she said so many times and always stayed.
My tears are running down my cheeks and I'm running down the street,
And mark my words, I'm gonna kill you when we meet

Bourbon Betty, it seems today our love will have to end,
In box made of pine I'm gonna send

Bourbon Betty back home from Berlin
Bourbon Betty please be back before
Bourbon Betty back home from Berlin
Bourbon Betty please be back before the burial starts
