Betsy from Pike

John A. Stone

[Verse 1]
Oh, don't you remember sweet Betsy from Pike?
Who crossed the big mountains with her lover Ike
With two yoke of oxen and one spotted hog
A tall Shanghai rooster and an old yeller dog

[Verse 2]
The Injuns came down in a terrible horde
And Betsy got scared they would scalp her adored
Behind the front wagon wheel Betsy did crawl
She fought off the Injuns with musket and ball

[Verse 3]
Then Betsy got up with a great deal of pain
And swore she'd go back to Pike County again
Then Ike gave a sigh and they fondly embraced
She travelled along with his arm round her waist

[Verse 4]
They passed the sierras through mountains of snow
'Til old California was sighted below
See, Betsy she hollered and Ike gave a cheer
Saying, "Betsy my darling, I'm a made millionaire"

[Verse 5]
Oh, don't you remember sweet Betsy from Pike?
Who crossed the big mountains with her lover Ike
With two yoke of oxen and one spotted hog
A tall Shanghai rooster and an old yeller dog
