Jackie DeShannon - Sweet Betsy from Pike lyrics
[Jackie DeShannon - Sweet Betsy from Pike lyrics]
Oh, don't you remember sweet Betsy from Pike
Who crossed the great prairie with her lover
Ike
With two yoke of oxen and one spotted hog
A tall Shanghai rooster and
An ol' yeller dog?
Oh, the rooster gave out and
The cattle all died the last piece of bacon
That mornin' was fried
Ol' Ike got discouraged, and Betsy got mad
The dog wagged his tail
And looked wonderful sad
Now, they soon reached the desert
Where Betsy gave out
And down in the sand she lay rollin' about
Ol' Ike looked at Betsy and said in surprise
"Come on here, my darlin
Get sand in your eye"
Oh, don't you remember sweet Betsy from Pike
Who crossed the great prairie with her lover
Ike
With two yoke of oxen and one spotted hog
A tall Shanghai rooster and
An ol' yeller dog?
Who crossed the great prairie with her lover
Ike
With two yoke of oxen and one spotted hog
A tall Shanghai rooster and
An ol' yeller dog?
Oh, the rooster gave out and
The cattle all died the last piece of bacon
That mornin' was fried
Ol' Ike got discouraged, and Betsy got mad
The dog wagged his tail
And looked wonderful sad
Now, they soon reached the desert
Where Betsy gave out
And down in the sand she lay rollin' about
Ol' Ike looked at Betsy and said in surprise
"Come on here, my darlin
Get sand in your eye"
Oh, don't you remember sweet Betsy from Pike
Who crossed the great prairie with her lover
Ike
With two yoke of oxen and one spotted hog
A tall Shanghai rooster and
An ol' yeller dog?
