I'm going steady

with Iron Ore Betty

and she's goin' steady

with me

we receive our mail

in the same mailbox

and we watch

the same tv

I got rug burns

on my elbows

she's got em on her knees

yeah, I'm goin steady

with Iron Ore Betty

and she's going steady

with me.



Hey, I been pickin'

my brains out

I been workin'

at the hardware store

I been trying

to put a chicken in the window

chase away the wolf from the door

Betty's been down

in the iron ore mine

bringing home energy

yeah, I'm goin steady

with Iron Ore Betty

and she's goin steady

with me.





I been speaking

to her in English

she's been speakin

in the English too

we always speak the same language

cause we're always

gettin' thru

I met her at a dance

at the union hall

it was a night

with Daddy G.

yeah, I'm goin steady

with Iron Ore Betty

and she's goin' steady

with me
