Johnny Cash - Sweet Betsy From Pike Lyrics
(Didli ai di ai didl didli ai di ai dei)Oh, do you remember sweet Betsy from PikeShe crossed the big mountains with her lover IkeWith two yoke of oxen and a big yellow dogAnd a tall Shanghai rooster and one spottled hog.Didli ai di ai didl didli ai di ai deiThey soon reached the desert where Betsy gave outAnd down in the sand she lay rolling aboutWhile Ike in great tears looked on in surpriseSaying Betsy get up you'll get sand in your eyes.Didli ai di ai didl didli ai di ai deiBetsy got up in the great deal of painShe said she'd go back to Pike County againBut I gave a sigh then he fondly embracedAnd he traveled along with his arm round her waist.(How can sweet Betsy went out to the danceAnd Ike poor a fellow he's down at his pance)Betsy was dressed up in ribbons and ringsSaid Iken you're an angel but where are your wings.Didli ai di ai didl didli ai di ai deiWell, the miner said Betsy will you dance with meShe answere I will if you want make two freeI can't dance too hard do you want to know whyBecause I'm so full of that strong out cooli.Ike and sweet Betsy got married of courseBut Ike was so jealous he gotta divorceAnd Betsy well satidfied said with a shoutGoodbye forever I'm glad you've backed out.Didli ai di ai didl didli ai di ai dei...
