There was a thickset man with frog eyes who was standing at the door
G G G G
And a little bald man with wing nut ears was waiting in the car
F G D G
Well, Robert Moore passed the frog-eyed man as he walked into the bar
Am Am Am Am
And Betty Coltrane, she jumped under her table
[Verse 2]
Am Am Am Am
"What's your pleasure?", asked the barman, he had a face like boiled meat
G G G G
"There's a girl called Betty Coltrane that I have come to see"
F G D G
"But I ain't seen that girl 'round here for more than a week"
Am Am Am Am
And Betty Coltrane, she had hid beneath the table
[Verse 3]
Am Am Am Am
Well, then in came a sailor with mermaids tattooed on his arms
G G G G
Followed by the man with the wing nut ears who was waitin' in the car
F G D G
Well, Robert Moore sensed trouble, he'd seen it comin' from afar
Am Am Am Am
And Betty Coltrane, she gasped beneath the table
[Verse 4]
Am Am Am Am
Ah well, the sailor said, "I'm looking for my wife, they call her Betty Coltrane"
G G G G
And the frog-eyed man said, "That can't be, that's my wife's maiden name"
F G D G
And the man with the wing nut ears said, "Hey, I married her back in Spain"
Am Am Am Am
And Betty Coltrane crossed herself beneath the table
[Verse 5]
Am Am Am Am
Well, Robert Moore stepped up and said, "That woman is my wife"
G G G G
And he drew a silver pistol and a wicked bowie knife
F G D G
And he shot the man with the wing nut ears straight between the eyes
Am Am Am Am
And Betty Coltrane, she moaned under the table
[Verse 6]
Am Am Am Am
Ah well, the frog-eyed man jumped at Robert Moore who stabbed him in the chest
G G G G
And as Mr. Frog-Eyes died he said, "Betty, you're the girl that I loved best"
F G D G
Then the sailor pulled a razor, Robert blasted it to bits
Am Am Am Am
"And Bettyyy, I know you're under the table"
[Verse 7]
Am Am Am Am
"Well, have no fear," said Robert Moore, "I do not wanna hurt you"
G G G G
"Never a woman did I love me half as much as you"
F G D G
"You're the blessed sun, the meek girl, and you are the sacred moon"
Am Am Am Am
And Betty shot his legs out from under the table
[Verse 8]
Am Am Am Am
Well, Robert Moore went down heavy with a crash upon the floor
G G G G
And over to his thrashin' body, Betty Coltrane, she did crawl
F G D G
She put the gun to the back of his head and pulled the trigger once more
Am Am Am Am
And blew his brains out all over the table
[Verse 9]
Am Am Am Am
Well, Betty stood up and shook her head and waved the smoke away
G G G G
Said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Barman, to leave your place this way"
F G D G
As she emptied out their wallets she said, "I'll collect my severance pay"
Am Am Am Am
Then she winked and threw a dollar on the table
