_ _ Well, [Ab] I took off all of my winnings, and [Db] I gave my little Betsy half.
_ _ _ [Ab] And she tore it [Db] up, threw it in my [Eb] face, just for a laugh.
_ _ [Ab] If there's one thing in the whole wide [Db] world I would love to see,
_ _ [Ab] _ that's when that little [Db] love of mine [Eb] puts a donut in my teeth.

_ _ [Ab] She said I can't take [Db] the way he [Bb] sings, [Eb] but I love to hear [Bb] him talk.
[Ebm] _ _ [Ab] _ I just [Abm] gave my heart a thrill, from the bottom [Ab] of my feet.
