Betty Lonely lives in a duplex of stuccoon the north bank of a brackish river 
Her ears omit the noise from a nearby air stripher mind floats beyond the snapper boats
Betty Lonely, her green eyes are roughly staring at a point 
Through the sliding glass door her heart live over a drawbridge
Her brain is wet like a throw net

Betty Lonely, she will always think in Spanish 
Though I know her Spanish black hairit will start to fade 
She sunk her past out in the surrounding salt flat 
Sher maidenhood was lost beneath the Spanish moss
Betty Lonely just talks to her grand baby everybody else 
She blots them out but her words stick like a flounder 
Gig her dry laugh is like a gaff
