Lyrics
Two Bettys In a place called "Two Bettys", at a fork on the bend Been drinkin since sundown, and I can’t see no end My troubles are pressing, got no will an’ no idea So I’m drownin’ the hurtin’ in whiskey and beer I remember how it used to be when we were young and the pace easy-going The sun was round, the women too the grapes were fat and wine always flowing Our laughter filled the taverns, from the Sydney harbour wharves To the back streets of old Perth, down by the jetties And I remember finding love and losing it again In a tavern on a bend known as Two Bettys The barman was a friend of mine, and I’d pick-up all the empties before leaving. We’d spin a yarn, like Kublai Khan, the girls drew close, lust made them so believing. Our laughter filled the taverns, from the Sydney harbour wharves To the back streets of old Perth, down by the jetties And I remember finding love and losing it again In a tavern on a bend known as Two Bettys. In a place called "Two Bettys", at a fork on the bend, Been drinkin’ since sundown, and I can’t see no end My troubles are pressing, got no will an’ no idea So I’m drownin’ the hurtin’ in whiskey and beer.
