Iron Ore Betty - John Prine

Yeah I'm going steady with Iron Ore Betty

She's going steady with me

We receive our mail in the same mailbox

We watch the same TV

I got rug burns on my elbows

She's go on her knees

Yeah I'm going steady with Iron Ore Betty

She's going steady with me

Hey I been picking my brains out

I been working 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 going steady with Iron Ore Betty

She's going steady with me

I been speaking to her in English

She's been speaking in the English too

We always speak the same language

Cause we're always getting through

I met her at a dance at the Union Hall

It was a night with Daddy G

Yeah I'm going steady with Iron Ore Betty

She's going steady with me

Yeah I'm going steady with Iron Ore Betty

She's going steady with me

We receive our mail in the same mailbox

We watch the same TV

I got rug burns on my elbows

She's go on her knees

Yeah I'm going steady with Iron Ore Betty

She's going steady with me

Oh I'm going steady with Iron Ore Betty

She's going steady with me

Yeah I'm going steady with Iron Ore Betty

She's going steady with me
