A dead man came calling my name and in need

Said Betty you're my girl

The strongest I've seen



But oh my heart is heading to break

They say God forgives

But I can't learn the same



Said Betty she's fine

And Betty she's tall

And Betty makes love

Like no woman at all

But oh my heart is heading to break

They say God forgives

But I can't learn the same



So I gave him my time

And I gave him my peace

And I gave him my heart

Gave it to keep



But oh my eyes making fools out of me

They say love is blindness

I can no longer see



Now I've no more to give

And I've no more to say

And the stars shine less bright now

Over this dead man's bay



But oh my heart is heading to break

They say God forgives

Is this love in the grave

They say God forgives

Is this love in the grave

They say God forgives

Is this love in the grave
