Iron Ore Betty Lyrics - Bruised Orange - John Prine

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.
