Lyrics

Steady Betty
(Tim Stafford, Bobby Starnes)

Verse
Ready Freddy was a rake and a rambler
a man about the town
A no-good high-stakes gambler
raise it up and double down
Double down (Double down) Double down (Double down)
Ready Freddy, you no-good gambler
Raise it up and double down

Verse
Steady Betty was a saint not a sinner
A hot tamale and the real McCoy
No man could ever win her
She was her Daddy's pride and joy
Pride and Joy, Pride and Joy
Steady Betty, no man could win her
She was her Daddy's pride and joy

Verse
Saturday night Ready Freddy
Was looking for a poker game
When he spied Steady Betty
On the corner of Fifth and Main
Fifth and Main, Fifth and Main
Ready Freddy met Steady Betty
On the corner of Fifth and Main

Verse
Betty led Freddy to the altar
Changed more than her last name
Now he's the rock of Gibraltar
He's gambled his last game
His last game, his last game
Steady Freddy you rock of Gibraltar
You’ve gambled your last game
