Sweet Betsy from Pike 歌詞
Sweet Betsy from Pike 2 (Remaster) - Burl Ives (伯爾·艾夫斯)
Do you remember Sweet Betsy from Pike
Crossed the big mountains with her lover Ike
With two yoke of oxen and one yaller dog
And an old Shanghai rooster one spotted hog
Hoodle dang fol de-die-do hoodle dang fol de-day
They got to the desert where Betsy give out
Down on the sand she lay rolling about
Ike he gazed at her with sobs and white sighs
"Won't you get up Sweet Betsy You'll get sand in your eyes"
Hoodle dang fol de-die-do hoodle dang fol de-day
The oxen run off and the shanghai it died
The last piece of bacon that morning was fried
Ike got discouraged an Betsy got mad
The dog wagged his tail and looked wonderfully sad
Hoodle dang fol de-die-do hoodle dang fol de-day
Ike and Sweet Betsy attended a dance
I wore a pair of his Pike country pants
Betsy was dressed up in ribbons and rings
Quoth Ike: "You're an angel but where are your wings "
Hoodle dang fol de-die-do hoodle dang fol de-day
A miner come up says "will you dance with me "
"I will you old hoss if you don't make too free;
Tell you the reason
If you want to know why doggone you
I'm chock full of strong alkali "
Hoodle dang fol de-die-do hoodle dang fol de-day
