Charmin Betsy

Rich girl lives in a big brick house
Poor girl she does the same
My gal lives in the Nashville jail
It's a brick house just the same

She'll be coming round the mountain Charmin Betsy
        She'll be coming round the mountain Cora Lee, poor thing
        And if I never see you again
        Good gal remember me

Rich girl rides in a Cadilac Eight
Poor girl she does the same
My gal rides in a T-Model Rord
But she gets there just the same

* Refrain

Rich girl wears the best perfume
Poor girl she does the same
My gal don't wear no perfume at all
But she gets there just the same

* Refrain

Rich girl wears a satin dress
Poor girl she does the same
My gal wears a burlap bag
But she gets there just the same

* Refrain
