Bring my bones back to Betty
Go and tell her what I done
Bring my bones back to Betty
We go back since we was young
Oh Betty, she'll be ready
Always said she knew this day would come

Bring my bones back to Betty
I know she'll understand
Bring my bones back to Betty
She's been more then a good friend
Oh Betty, down by the levy
Standing there with a flower in her hand

Bring my bones back to Betty
Go and tell her what I say
Bring my bones back to Betty
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Oh Betty, she'll be ready
Always knew I'd be back home some day
Always knew I'd be back home some day
