Sweet Betsy from Pike 2 (Remaster) - Burl Ives (伯尔·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
