| Song: | Sweet Betsy From Pike
Hey Y�all its Tin Min giving you Folk�s Some old style traditional Country The sort of songs we play on the Cattle drive trail and campfires!! So sit close to that fire and after a good chew Take out our Mississippi tin sandwich and sit a spell! 4 4 5 5 -5 -5b 5 -4 4 4 4 Oh, don�t you re-mem-ber sweet bet-sy from pike 4 4 5 -5 4 4 Who crossed the big moun-tains 4 -6 -5 -5 -5 -5 7 7 7 -6b -5 with her lov-er Ike With two yoke of cat-tle 5 -5b -5 -6b -5 A large yel-low dog 4 5 5 5 -5 -5b A tall shang-hai roos-ter -4 -4 4 4 4 And one spot-ted hog (CHORUS) 4 -4 5 5 5 -5 -5b -4 -4 4 4 4 Sing-ing too-ral lal loo-ral lal loo-ral lal la VERSE 2 One evening quite early they camped on the Platte �twas near the road on a green shady flat Where betsy quite tired laid down to repose While with yonder Ike gazed on his pike county rose CHORUS VERSE 3 There wagon broke down with a terrible crash And out on the prairie rolled all kinds of trash Then Ike heaved a sigh and they fondly embraced And she travelled along with his arm �round her waist CHORUS TO END |
