Betsy, Betsy, 
F5        D5   G5
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
        C5              E5
She was born in 'thirty-two
    F5            G5
And was she ever pretty
    C5                    E5
She rode a freight train west
        F5                E5
All the way from Detroit City
A5               C5
Betsy's seen more places 
          F5            F5
Than I'll ever hope to see
E5               A5
Betsy's been more loyal
     D5              G5
Than any friend could be
     C5                 E5
With some she traveled fast
     F5             G5
With others it was slow
C5                 E5
Betsy's seen them all
      F5                  E5
She's seen them come and go
    A5                C5
She must have had some favorites
  F5              F5
Before I finally met her
    E5            A5
And now that she's all mine
     D5            G5
They better just forget her
C5           C5
Betsy was a lady
    F5               F5
And that she will remain
E5             A5
Betsy took some beatings
        D5           G5
But she never once complained
    C5             E5
She had a classic beauty
     F5              G5
That everyone could see
  C5               E5
I was the last to meet her
        F5                E5
But she gave her life to me
    A5           C5
She may be rusted iron
       F5              F5
But to me she's solid gold
      E5                 A5
And I just can't hold the tears back
       D5     G5      F5   C5
'Cause Betsy's growing old
