Betty walked in with a red dress on
Charlie's first glance, he was fallin' in love
He didn't have to say what he felt that day

So Charlie promised Betty she had his heart
And Betty promised Charlie they'd never
Part till their dyin' day

Well, it didn't take long for the winds to change
Charlie's busy workin', Betty's home each day
And Charlie never knew 'bout Betty feelin' blue

So Charlie promised Betty she had his heart
And Betty promised Charlie they'd never
Part till their dyin' day

For so long things have been so wrong
Charlie always thought that he'd always be true
But he didn't know what a broken heart could do

Till Betty walked in with her blue dress on
At Charlie's first glance, he knew she was gone
She didn't have to say why she left that day

But Betty promised Charlie he had her heart
And Charlie promised Betty they'd never
Part till his dyin' day

Betty walked up with her black dress on
We all wondered if she would come and
What she'd have to say
Charlie's restin' place
But Betty had it written on Charlie's grave
"You had my heart till your dyin' day"
That's what I came to say
