Betty called me in


Betty jo, you made it plain
When first you held me near.
Even though you caused me pain,
You were all the world to me.

We made love; we had such fun.
Many fine times went by us.
Now its all so hazy
And a little bit crazy.

Betty jo, my hearts on fire;
I dont need this crying.
The next time you see me,
The back seat of a taxis where Ill be.

Betty called me in to say goodnight,
Much to my relief and pure delight.
I think that was my big love scene
I do belive her engine run all right.

Betty said: get ready, the time has come.
I was young and the good life had begun.
And with the dawn, the child in me was gone,
But it made a man out of me that night.

Betty made my clothes and sewed my jeans,
Listened to my songs and foolish schemes.
I think the way she got to me
Was aimed like a laser beam right to the soul.

Betty, my true love, do what you do tonight.
Where she goes I hope she knows shes right.
The worst demand and the best of times,
She was never the kind to kick and bitch and fight.

Betty called me in to say goodnight,
Much to my relief and pure delight.
And with the dawn, the child in me was gone,
But it made a man out of me that night.

I think that was my big love scene
I do believe her engine run all right.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Gordon Meredith Lightfoot, Jr. (1938-2023) was a Canadian singer-songwriter considered one of the pillars of his country's folk and country music. Born in Orillia, Ontario, Lightfoot began his musical career in the 1960s, quickly gaining a reputation for his evocative melodies and poetic lyrics that often explored themes of history, nature, and everyday life in Canada. Among his most famous songs are "If You Could Read My Mind", "Sundown" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". The latter song, inspired by the sinking of a ship on Lake Superior, became a folk classic and cemented Lightfoot as one of the most important singer-songwriters of the 20th century. Lightfoot collaborated with numerous artists, including Bob Dylan and Neil Young, and won numerous awards for his music, including the Juno Award for Canadian artist of the year. His influence on Canadian folk music has been profound and lasting.
