The girl I love is waiting 

                G7         C 
Where the delta kisses the sea 


The pine trees sway with the evening tide 

                   G7          C 
That’s where she’s waiting for me 


    F                    C 
Her smile’s as soft as a velvet rose 

    F                     G7 
Her heart’s as gay as champagne 
  
    C 
Her hair is as black as a raven 

             G7      C 
My beautiful Betty Lorraine 



Her eyes they shine like the morning star 

                G7          C 
Her lips are as warm as the rain 


I found I loved I lost my heart 

             G7      C 
To beautiful Betty Lorraine 


    F                    C 
Her smile’s as soft as a velvet rose 

    F                     G7 
Her heart’s as gay as champagne  

    C 
Her hair is as black as a raven 

             G7      C 
My beautiful Betty Lorraine 


    F                    C 
Her smile’s as soft as a velvet rose 

    F                     G7 
Her heart’s as gay as champagne  

    C 
Her hair is as black as a raven 

             G7      C 
My beautiful Betty Lorraine
