Matty Mac Betsy Ann
My Betsy Ann, oh, she used to dry the [?]
She never let me get away
My Betsy Ann was scratching, and a-biting in the summer night
But I guess that's the price I pay
For being sweet
My blood is so sweet
Can't you feel that now?
She's tearing me up outside by the firelight
And I think I might just run away
Get indoors, now, safe, away from all that nature
Has in store out in the darkness by the forest
Under the moonlight by the water
She'll be acting up all night
But, baby, don't you love it?
I been looking for a reason to let you stay
But I don't know if I can
Handle you bouncing on me ever again
Oh, Betsy Ann, I wanna drive you, oh, so, far away
To Never, Never, Never Land
I'm tired of you, and all your friends annoying me
Every night, week to week
I find myself just pondering what peace could bring
If Betsy Ann could go one night without a feast
Go outdoors now, soak away in all that nature
Has in store out in the darkness by the forest
Under the moonlight by the fire
We can dream up all night for you
And lately, she's testing my patience
Don't know if I can take this every night
Yeah, lately, she's driving me crazy
Don't wanna call you baby, don't you know that
I've been searching for a reason to let you stay
But I don't know if I can
Handle you bouncing on me ever again
Ever again
Ever again
