Don't you remember Sweet Betsy from Pike, |
| [00:13.852] |
Who crossed the wide mountains with her lover Ike, |
| [00:18.013] |
With Two yoke of ox, and one-spotted hog, |
| [00:22.157] |
A tall Shanghai rooster, and a ole yeller dog. |
| [00:26.349] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [00:30.453] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [00:38.862] |
The Shanghai ran off, and the oxes all died |
| [00:43.236] |
That morning the last piece of bacon was fried |
| [00:47.283] |
Poor Ike got discouraged, and Betsy got mad |
| [00:51.518] |
The dog wagged his tail and looked wondrously sad |
| [00:55.738] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [00:59.933] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [01:08.584] |
Their wagons broke down with a terrible crash |
| [01:12.545] |
And out on the prairie rolled all sorts of trash |
| [01:16.689] |
A few little baby clothes, done up with care |
| [01:20.889] |
'Twas a little suspicious, though all on the square |
| [01:25.130] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [01:29.196] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [01:51.454] |
The Injuns came down in a thundering horde, |
| [01:55.605] |
And Betsy was scared they would scalp her adored. |
| [01:59.798] |
So behind the wagon-bed Betsy did crawl |
| [02:03.896] |
And she fought off the Injuns with musket and ball. |
| [02:07.914] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [02:12.114] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [02:20.569] |
They soon reached the desert, where Betsy gave out |
| [02:24.855] |
And down in the sand she lay rolling about |
| [02:29.011] |
Ike in great horror looked on in surprise, |
| [02:33.354] |
Saying "Betsy, get up, you'll get sand in your eyes" |
| [02:37.468] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [02:41.619] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [02:50.056] |
Sweet Betsy got up with a great deal of pain |
| [02:54.359] |
Declared she'd go back to Pike County again |
| [02:58.555] |
But Ike heaved a sigh, and they fondly embraced |
| [03:02.757] |
And they traveled along with his arm 'round her waist |
| [03:06.811] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [03:10.996] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [03:19.345] |
They swam the wide rivers and climbed the high peaks |
| [03:23.640] |
And camped on the mountains for weeks upon weeks |
| [03:27.697] |
They fought with injuns with with musket and ball. |
| [03:31.947] |
They reached California in spite of hell |
| [03:36.334] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
| [03:40.303] |
Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray |
