[00:00.000] 作曲 : Anon/Unknown - 1849
[00:09.798] Don't you remember Sweet Betsy from Pike,
[00:13.852] Who crossed the wide mountains with her lover Ike,
[00:18.013] With Two yoke of ox, and one-spotted hog,
[00:22.157] A tall Shanghai rooster, and a ole yeller dog.
[00:26.349] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[00:30.453] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[00:38.862] The Shanghai ran off, and the oxes all died
[00:43.236] That morning the last piece of bacon was fried
[00:47.283] Poor Ike got discouraged, and Betsy got mad
[00:51.518] The dog wagged his tail and looked wondrously sad
[00:55.738] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[00:59.933] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[01:08.584] Their wagons broke down with a terrible crash
[01:12.545] And out on the prairie rolled all sorts of trash
[01:16.689] A few little baby clothes, done up with care
[01:20.889] 'Twas a little suspicious, though all on the square
[01:25.130] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[01:29.196] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[01:51.454] The Injuns came down in a thundering horde,
[01:55.605] And Betsy was scared they would scalp her adored.
[01:59.798] So behind the wagon-bed Betsy did crawl
[02:03.896] And she fought off the Injuns with musket and ball.
[02:07.914] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[02:12.114] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[02:20.569] They soon reached the desert, where Betsy gave out
[02:24.855] And down in the sand she lay rolling about
[02:29.011] Ike in great horror looked on in surprise,
[02:33.354] Saying "Betsy, get up, you'll get sand in your eyes"
[02:37.468] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[02:41.619] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[02:50.056] Sweet Betsy got up with a great deal of pain
[02:54.359] Declared she'd go back to Pike County again
[02:58.555] But Ike heaved a sigh, and they fondly embraced
[03:02.757] And they traveled along with his arm 'round her waist
[03:06.811] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[03:10.996] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[03:19.345] They swam the wide rivers and climbed the high peaks
[03:23.640] And camped on the mountains for weeks upon weeks
[03:27.697] They fought with injuns with with musket and ball.
[03:31.947] They reached California in spite of hell
[03:36.334] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
[03:40.303] Too-li-ran-foe-too-ra, too-li-ran-foe-too-ray
