Don't you remember Sweet Betsy from Pike [00:00:00]
Crossed the big mountains with her lover Ike [00:00:04]
With two yoke of oxen and one yaller dog[00:00:07]
And an old Shanghai rooster one spotted hog [00:00:11]
Hoodle dang dang fol-de-die-do hoodle dang fol-de-day[00:00:15]
They got to the desert where Betsy give out [00:00:20]
Down on the sand she lay rolling about [00:00:24]
Ike he gazed at her with sobs and white sighs [00:00:28]
"Won't you get up Sweet Betsy You'll get sand in your eyes"[00:00:31]
Hoodle dang dang fol-de-die-do hoodle dang fol-de-day[00:00:35]
Well the oxen run off and the shanghai it died [00:00:40]
The last piece of bacon that morning was fried [00:00:44]
Ike got discouraged an Betsy got mad [00:00:47]
The dog wagged his tail and looked wonderfully sad [00:00:51]
Hoodle dang dang fol-de-die-do hoodle dang fol-de-day[00:00:54]
Ike and Sweet Betsy attended a dance [00:00:59]
I wore a pair of his Pike country pants [00:01:03]
Betsy was dressed up in ribbons and rings [00:01:06]
Quoth Ike: "You're an angel but where are your wings "[00:01:10]
Hoodle dang dang fol-de-die-do hoodle dang fol-de-day[00:01:13]
A miner come up says "will you dance with me "[00:01:19]
"I will you old hoss if you don't make too free;[00:01:22]
Tell you the reason [00:01:26]
If you want to know why doggone you[00:01:27]
I'm chock full of strong alkali "[00:01:30]
Hoodle dang dang fol-de-die-do hoodle dang fol-de-day[00:01:33]
