Did you ever hear of sweet Betsy from Pike
Who crossed the wide prairies with her husband Ike,
With two yoke of cattle and one spotted hog,
A tall shanghai rooster, and an old yaller dog?

Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay

The alkali desert was burning and bare,
And Ike cried in fear "We are lost, I declare"
"The dear old Pike County, I'll go back to you."
Says Betsy, "You'll go by yourself if you do."

Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay

They swam the wide rivers and crossed the tall peaks,
And camped on the prairie for weeks upon weeks,
They fought off the Indians with musket and ball
And reached California in spite of it all.

Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
