Dear Betty Baby

Lyrics

Dear Betty, some we saw signaling Dear Betty, some we couldn't see No sign from the waves, things are somewhat odd Judging by what I could earlier gather

Do you plan to be a long time at sea? No, sir, not I, sir, I reply, not me Seeing a glimmer of evil in his eye I thought it best if I cried

What can the sailors do when the captain feels blue? A ship is on the ocean, so to speak And what if the ship should spring a leak? What do they expect of me?

Now without a pail you're prepared to open Watching shifting seascapes awaiting for you This is a long song, the sound goes on Judging by what I could earlier gather
