_ Oh, don't you remember sweet Betsy from Pike?
Across the Wake Mountains [A] with her lover Ike
[D] With two yoke of [G] oxen and [D] one spotted hog
A tall Shanghai rooster and an old yellow dog
Doodle dang fall today, [A] doodle dang [D] fall today
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today _ _ _ _
_ The Shanghai ran off and the oxen all died
That morning the last piece [A] of bacon was fried
[D] Poor Ike got discouraged, [G]
Betsy got [D] mad
And the dog wagged his tail and looked wondrously sad
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today _ _ _ _
_ The wagon broke down with a terrible crash
And out on the prairie [A] rolled all sorts of trash
[D] A few little baby [G] cloves [D] done up with care
Looked a little suspicious, but all on the square
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The engines came down in a wild yelling horde
And Betsy was scared [A] they would scout her abode
[D] Behind the front wagon [G] wheel Betsy [D] did crawl
It was there she fought engines with musket and ball
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today _ _ _
_ [A] _ [D] They soon reached the desert where Betsy gave out
And down in the sand [A] she lay [B] rolling about
[D] While Ike in great [G] horror looked on with [D] surprise
Saying, Betsy, get up you'll get sand in your eyes
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today _ _ _
_ _ _ Sweet Betsy got up with a great deal of pain
And she would go [Em] to Pike County [A] again
[D] But Ike gave a sigh [G] and they fondly [D] embraced
They traveled along with his arm round her waist
Doodle dang fall today, doodle [A] dang fall [D] today
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today _ _ _
_ _ They crossed the wide prairie, they climbed the high peaks
They camped in the mountains [A] for weeks upon [D] weeks
They fought with engines [G] with [D] musket and ball
They reached California in spite of it all
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today
Doodle dang fall today, doodle dang fall today _ _ _
