There (G major) was a time, long time (D major) ago,

pistol and it was a .44

To get (A major) Betty that ring

(A major) Now, (D major) yeah, he had bad luck (G major)
Getting Betty that diamond ring (D major)

and the last (G major) thing in the world I want to

Well (A major) now, (D major) give mama my clothes,
(G major) let Betty keep that diamond ring (D major)
