Oh, I'm going around the mountain, Charming Betsy;
I'm a-going round the mountain, Cora Lee;
If I never no more for to see you
(It's) Pray, Lord, remember me
The first time I saw Charming Betsy
She's a-running on that eastbound train;
And the next time I seen Charming Betsy
She's a-wearing the ball and chain
Goodbye, Miss Charming Betsy
Goodbye, little Cora Lee
If I never no more for to see you
Pray, Lord, remember me
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town;
Sometimes i havе a great notion
For to jump in the river and drown
Goodbyе, Miss Charming Betsy
Farewell, little Cora Lee
If I never no more for to see you
Pray, Lord, remember me
Take these here tings that I give you
To wear them upon your hand;
If I never no more for to see you
Don't you marry no railroad man
Goodbye, Miss Charming Betsy
Farewell, little Cora Lee
If I never no more for to see you
Pray, Lord, remember me
