Do _ _ _ [A] you remember [D] sweet Betsy from Pike?
_ Across the big [A] mountain with her lover Ike, [D] With two yoke of oxen and a big yanner dog,
A tall [A] Shanghai rooster [D] and one spotted hog, Oodle-dang, [A] folly night, [D] oodle-dang. _

They soon reached the desert where Betsy give out,
Down on the sand she [A] lay rolling about, [D] Ike he gazed at her [G] with sobs and [D] with sighs,
Oh, he [A] get a Betsy, [D] you get Sam's in your eyes, Oodle-dang, [A] folly night, [D] oodle-dang.

_ _ _ _ Shanghai [A] rum opened, [D] the cattle all died, The last piece of bacon [A] that morning was fried,
[D] Ike got discouraged [G] and Betsy [D] got mad, The [A] dog wagged his tail [D] and looked wonderfully sad,
Oodle-dang, [F#m] folly [D] night, oodle-dang. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Long Ike and [A] sweet Betsy [D] attended a dance, Ike wore a pair of [A] his Pike county pants,
[D] Sweet Betsy was [G] dressed up in ribbons and rings, Oh, [A] Ike, you're an angel, [D] but where are your wings?
Oodle-dang, [A] folly night, [D] oodle-dang. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ A [A] miner come up and says, will you dance with me?
I will, you old [A] hoss, if you don't make do free,
[D] And I'll tell you the [G] reason, do you want [D] to know why?
The gun you [A] aim, chuck full [D] of strong alkali,
Oodle-dang, [A] folly night, [D] oodle-dang. _ _ _ _
