My Beta Girl

Words: Ralph E. Gabele, Denison ’25

Night, and the fireside glowing,
Casting its spell over me;
Sitting there idly dreaming,
Thinking of one dear to me;
Seems that I see her there in the soft glow,
The sweetest of all I know.

CHORUS

Sweetheart of mine, my Beta girl,
Fairest of all, my Beta girl;
Eyes blue as skies of Beta blue,
Cheeks like the rose of Beta hue;
Tender and true, a pal to all;
Worthy of Beta’s name;
You are my light, my diamond so bright,
My sweetheart, my Beta girl!

And then when I start dreaming,
Dreams bring back memories to me;
Mem’ries like moon-beams gleaming,
Shadows of my love to see;
She wears my diamond, my three stars of gold,
And this tells the story old.

CHORUS
