Default (potentially stupid) grammar question

i was wondering about the phrasing on the last words of this verse of Betty called me in. he has a weird way of phrasing the words and it comes up in a lot of his songs. is this a typical canadian accent or a noval Lightfoot creation?.. i dont hear it in american singers, but it happens the most in the song and a lot of his others? especially of the last word of a verse


Betty my true love do what you do 'tonight'
Where she goes I hope she knows she's 'right'
The worst of 'times' and the best of 'times'
She was never the 'kind' to kick and bitch and 'fight'


help out someone from the other side of the world!
