50 years ago today me and Becky ran away
From our family and friends that we loved
It was her dad and mine they fought all the time
But they couldn't kill our feelings of love

Just a sweet mountain girl steppin' out to face the world
With a boy who thought he was a man
Wishing then what I know now but it all worked out somehow
Me and Becky hand in hand

Oh how the years went by and oh how our babies cried
Three daughters and two little boys
They grew up and moved away me and Becky's hair turned grey
Side-by side in a home made of joy

Here I stand all alone by her marker made of stone
I say goodbye to my Becky today
Oh the children and I we cry and cry
My sweet mountain girl has gone away
