Lyrics

John Mack Herring,
He's so helpful and caring.
"I never thought he'd ever come around
to confess his love,
but he took me down to the pond
with his father's shotgun."

Oh, Miss Betty Jean,
Odessa's awfully mean.
"I know you're never satisfied
and you're hardly understood,
but if anyone was willing to try
you could bet your soul I would."

Oh, how life is rough!
"I just had to call his bluff.
Take me down, oh, take me down!
I'm begging of you please!
Carry me in your car
down the road to Notrees."

"Well, alright Betty.
Just tell me when you are ready.
I'll let you kiss me one last time,
but I'm not your loving man.
Then I'll send you down in the pond
to no-man's land."
