Now don't you remember sweet Betsy from Pike

Who crossed the big mountains with her lover Ike

Two yoke of oxen a big yeller dog

A tall Shanghai rooster and one spotted hog

One evenin' quite early they camped on the plat

Down by the road on a green shady flat

Where Betsy got tired and lay down to repose

And Ike he just gazed on his Pike County rose

Well they soon reached the desert where Betsy gave out

Down in the sand she lay rollin' about

While Ike in great tears looked on in surprise

He said Betsy get up you'll get sand in your eyes

Well the Shanghai ran off and the cattle all died

The last piece of bacon that mornin' was fried

Ike he got discouraged and Betsy got mad

The dog wagged his tail and looked wonderfully sad

Well a miner said Betsy will you dance with me

I will now old Hoss if you don't make too free

But don't dance me hard do you want to know why

Doggone you I'm chocked full of strong alkali

Ike and sweet Betsy got married ofcourse

But Ike gettin' jealous obtained the divorce

Betsy well satisfied said with a shout

Goodbye you big lummox I'm glad you backed out
