Dear Betty Baby by Mayo Thompson Lyrics

Dear Betty, some we saw signaling
Dear Betty, some we couldn't see
No sign from the waves, things are somewhat off
Judging by what I could earlier gather

Do you plan to be a long time at sea?
No, sir, not I, sir, I reply, not me
Seeing a glimmer of evil in his eye
I thought it best if I cried

What can the sailors do when the captain feels mean?
A ship is on the ocean, so to speak
And what if the ship should spring a leak?
What do they expect of me?

Now without a pail you're prepared to open
Watching seascapes are waiting for you
This is a long song, the sound goes on
Judging by what I could earlier gather
