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.
