Artist/Band: Cowboy Junkies
Lyrics for Song: Betty Lonely
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Cowboy Junkies



Betty Lonely lives in a duplex of stucco on the north

bank of a brackish river

Her ears omit the noise from a nearby airstrip her

mind floats beyond the snapper boats



Betty Lonely, her green eyes are roughly staring at

a point through the sliding glass door

Her heart lives over a drawbridge



Her brain is wet like a throw net



Betty Lonely, she will always think in Spanish

Though I know her Spanish black hair

It will start to fade she sunk her past

Out in the surrounding salt flats

Her maidenhood was lost beneath the Spanish moss



Betty Lonely just talks to her grandbaby

Everybody else she blots them out

But her words stick like a flounder gig her dry laugh is like a gaff
