Lyrics
Sweet Betty Blue
Music & Lyrics © 2002 carrie clark
Her mother wore pearls, took a hold of her world
At 18 packed her bags to go.
Off to the states, why bother to wait
She was off to gain fortune and fame.
A nurse in the war, she traveled so far
Where was the future she had dreamed?
A soldier soon called and despite of it all
Born to this world Betty Blue
* Sweet Betty Blue, Sweet Betty Blue
Only a child were you
Sweet Betty Blue Sweet Betty Blue
The world will not change just for you
Growing up on a fast track, her mother she never looked back
She was just a girl in her own mind.
Her family she called and despite of it all
She took off and left Betty Blue
She tested her fate as she moved through the states
Finding ways to escape responsibility and pain
Of losing to war her soldier before
She brought into this world Betty Blue
* Sweet Betty Blue, Sweet Betty Blue
Only a child were you
Sweet Betty Blue Sweet Betty Blue
The world will not change just for you
She followed her path, but she finally turned back
Never found her fortune or her fame
She took off her pearls, turned her back to the world
And said Betty I?m coming home for you
* Sweet Betty Blue, Sweet Betty Blue
Only a child were you
Sweet Betty Blue Sweet Betty Blue
The world will not change just for you
* Sweet Betty Blue, Sweet Betty Blue
Only a child were you
Sweet Betty Blue Sweet Betty Blue
Sweet Betty Blue I love you
