Sweet Betsy From Pike
Do you remember sweet Betsy from Pike?
Who crossed the wide prairies with her lover Ike
With two yoke of cattle and one spotted hog
A tall shanghai rooster and an old yellow dog
They soon reached the desert where Betsy gave out
Down in the sand she lay rolling about
Ike half distracted, looked on with surprise
Saying, 'Betsy, get up, you'll get sand in your eyes'
Sweet Betsy got up in a great deal of pain
She declared she'd go back to Pike county again
But Ike heaved a sigh, and they fondly embraced
So they traveled along with his arm 'round her waist
They swam blue, wide rivers and climbed the tall peaks

They camped on prairies for weeks upon weeks
Starvation and cholera, hard work and slaughter
They reached California 'spite-a hell and high water
Then a miner said, 'Betsy, with you dance with me? '
She answered, 'I will if you won't make too free,
I can't dance too hard, do you want to know why?
Because I'm so full of that strong alcoo-lai!'
This spite counted couple got married, of course
But Ike became jealous of tamed of him horse
And Betsy while satisfied, said with a shout,
'Goodbye, you big lummox, I'm glad you backed out!'
