G 
Oh, don't you remember
Sweet Betsy from Pike?
She crossed the wide mountains
D 
G 
With her lover Ike and one
yoke of oxen
And big yeller dog a tall Shanghai rooster
And one spotted hog
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay out on the prairie
One bright starry night
They broke out the whiskey
D 
G 
And Betsy got tight she sang
and she shouted
And danced o're the plain
Made a great show for the whole
wagon train
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay

Verse 2
G 
They soon reached the desert
D 
G 
Where Betsy give out and
down in the sand
D 
G 
She lay rolling about ike
in great terror
Looked on in surprise saying,
"Betsy get up
You'll get sand in your eyes"
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay the wagon tipped over
With a terrible crash and out
on the prairie
D 
Rolled all sorts of trash
G 
A few little baby clothes
done up with care
They looked rather suspi
D 
cious
G 
Though it was all on the square
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay

Verse 3
G 
The Shanghai ran off and the cattle
all died
The last piece of bacon
D 
That morning was fried
G 
Poor Ike got discouraged
and Betsy got mad
The dog wagged his tail
D 
G 
And looked wonderfully sad
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay
D 
One morning they climbed
G 
up a very high hill
And with great wonder
D 
Looked into  old Placerville
G 
Ike shouted and said
As he cast his eyes down
"Sweet Betsy, my love
D 
G 
Will you come to Hangtown?"
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay
D 
G 
Long Ike and sweet Betsy attended a dance

Verse 4
D 
Ike wore a pair of his pike County pants
G 
Sweet Betsy was covered
With ribbons and rings
Said, "Ike, you're an angel
But where are your wings?"
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
D 
G 
Do lang- fall, did ay
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
D 
G 
Do lang- fall, did ay

Verse 5
D 
Long Ike and sweet Betsy
G 
Got married of course
D 
But Ike, getting jealous obtained a divorce
G 
And Betsy, well satisfied said,
with a shout
"Goodbye, you big lummox
I'm glad you backed out"
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay
Doodle- ang- fall, di- id- all
Do lang- fall, did ay
