t happened late one summer night She met a drifter with demon's eyes The youg and pretty, betty jones
He took her out behind the alley Carved away all of her beauty Now they call her betty bones
Now take a look at miss betty bones The flesh ripped clean from her face is all gone Taken away by a murderous knife Out back behind the alley in the pale moonlight
She was kicking and screaming begging for death As he hacked off her ears but he wasn't done yet Took a leg and an arm skinned the girl alive And she cried, oh she cried
Oh my miss betty bones Still alive with the skin all gone Under the moonlight she cries Please just leave'er alone That's betty bones
He took her flesh but he left her alive Cut her tongue and a pretty green eye No one was around to hear her cries In the night, oh she cried
Oh my miss betty bones Still alive with the skin all gone Under the moonlight she cries Please just leave'er alone That's betty bones
Oh betty jones Don't you open your eye Well she cried into the night Oh the girl fought for her life
Oh my miss betty bones Still alive with the skin all gone Under the moonlight she cries Please just leave'er alone That's betty bones
Oh poor miss betty bones Left for dead by the side of the road Under the moonlight she lies Please just leave'er alone That's betty bones That's betty bones That's betty bones Oh betty!
