Betty Brown was small and round
Red hair had she too
From the schoolyard homeward bound
As I came passing through

I looked at her and she smiled at me
Not so pretty but fine for me
Didn't know just what to say
So I passed along my way, Betty Brown

Betty Brown was homeward bound
Betty Brown was on my mind
Betty Brown was homeward bound
Betty Brown was on my mind

Next day I stood tall and brave
Waiting for the smile she gave
Wishing she would be there soon
So we could share the afternoon

I waited there from 1 till 3
But no Betty Brown could I see
Standing by the ice crеam stand
With a flower in my hand, Betty Brown

Betty Brown was homеward bound
Betty Brown was on my mind
Betty Brown was homeward bound
Betty Brown was on my mind
