Careless Love (Reimagined) (Lyrics & Video)Sweet Betsy from Pike – Pop Country Music Lyrics
Have you heard about Betsy from Pike
Who crossed the broad prairie beside her love Ike?
Two teams of oxen pulled everything they owned
With a rooster, a hog, and a yellow dog in tow
Sing a little high, sing a little low
West across the prairie they continued to go
Sweet Betsy and Ike, with the mountains ahead
Followed the long road wherever it led
One night by the Platte, they stoppеd for a rest
Betsy lay down with her hеad on Ike's chest
Her feet were worn out from the rough western ground
But morning arrived, and they kept moving on
Sing through the morning, sing through the day
Betsy and Ike kept making their way
Past rivers and grasslands, through dust and through rain
They loaded the wagon and started again
Out in the desert, poor Betsy gave in
She dropped in the sand with the dust on her skin
Ike looked down worried and begged her to rise
"Get up now, dear Betsy, you'll get sand in your eyes."
The trail wasn't easy, the journey was long
They argued, made peace, then kept moving on
Through hunger and hardship, through trouble and strife
They crossed into California to start a new life
Sing a little high, sing a little low
Over the mountains they finally did go
Sweet Betsy from Pike and her faithful man Ike
Reached California at the end of their ride
Sing through the sunset, sing through the night
For brave Sweet Betsy and her true love Ike
