[E]
Wake up, wake up little Betty, I'd like to sleep some sound.
And when the highway robbers are coming, they'll tear your playhouse down.
Wake up, wake up little Betty, and go get me my gun.
Well I ain't no man for trouble, but I'll die before I run.
Hold him Betty, or I'll tear it low.
Wake up, wake up little Betty, wake up it's almost day.
How can you lay there sleeping and slumber, when your true love is gone away.
Well the last time I saw little Betty, was in the hills of Tennessee.
She had a pistol in her hand, and [B] a banjo on [E] her knee.
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the mountain, dig a hole in the cocoa ground.
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the mountain, gonna lay little Betty down.
Wake up, wake up little Betty, I'd like to sleep some sound.
And when the highway robbers are coming, they'll tear your playhouse down.
Wake up, wake up little Betty, and go get me my gun.
Well I ain't no man for trouble, but I'll die before I run.
Hold him Betty, or I'll tear it low.
Wake up, wake up little Betty, wake up it's almost day.
How can you lay there sleeping and slumber, when your true love is gone away.
Well the last time I saw little Betty, was in the hills of Tennessee.
She had a pistol in her hand, and [B] a banjo on [E] her knee.
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the mountain, dig a hole in the cocoa ground.
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the mountain, gonna lay little Betty down.
