Black Betty - Union of Sound

I’m going steady with Iron Ore Betty

And she’s goin' steady with me

We receive our mail in the same mailbox

And we watch the same TV

I got rug burns on my elbows

She’s got 'em on her knees

Yeah, I’m goin' steady with Iron Ore Betty

And she’s going steady with me

Hey, I been pickin' my brains out

I been workin' at the hardware store

I been trying to put a chicken in the window

Chase away the wolf from the door

Betty’s been down in the iron ore mine

Bringing home energy

Yeah, I’m goin' steady with Iron Ore Betty

And she’s goin' steady with me

I been speaking to her in English

She’s been speakin' in the English too

We always speak the same language

'cause we’re always gettin' thru

I met her at a dance at the union hall

It was a night with Daddy G

Yeah, I’m goin' steady with Iron Ore Betty

And she’s goin' steady with me
