"Sweet Betsy From Pike Lyrics"
Swing The Big Eyed Rabbit Lyrics
Swing the big eyed rabbit. Swing the pig iron hammer. Baby looks for a girl. Baby's mad at the world. Hunt it down and snatch and gab it. Catch it in the patch and trap it. Grab it by the legs and swing the big eyed rabbit. Ride Sally ride. Bunny tries to hide. Bang bang shoot 'em up. Yum yum eat 'em up. Swing boy swing. Swingin' crazy scene. Swing it against a tree. Swingin' crazy scream.
Swing the big eyed rabbit. Swing the pig iron hammer. Baby looks for a girl. Baby's mad at the world. Hunt it down and snatch and gab it. Catch it in the patch and trap it.

Swingin' crazy scream.
SWEET BETSY FROM PIKE
Did you ever hear tell of sweet Betsy from Pike
Who crossed the wide prairies with her lover Ike,
With two yoke of cattle and one spotted hog,
A tall shanghai rooster, and old yaller dog?
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
Sing too rali oorali oorali ay
One evening quite early they camped on the Platte,
'Twas near by the road on a green shady flat;
Where Betsy, quit tired, lay down to repose,
While with wonder Ike gazed on his Pike County rose.
CHORUS
Out on the prairie on bright starry night
They broke the whiskey and Betsy got tight
She sang and she shouted and danced o'er the plain,
And showed her bare arse to the whole wagon train.
Baby, I Don't Cry Over You Lyrics
Morton Krouse Had my lunch all alone Waited for you to phone Said you call me at two So at abpout twenty of three I had cocktails with Lee Baby, I don't cry over you Stood me up in the rain Tried to hurt me again Bet you thought I'd be blue I went out to a show With a swell guy named Joe Baby, I don't cry over you<
CHORUS
The injuns came down in a wild yelling horde,
And Betsy was scared they would scalp her adored;
Behind the front wagon wheel Betsy did crawl,
And there she fought the injuns with musket and ball.
CHORUS
They soon reached the desert, where Betsy gave out,
And down in the sand she lay rollin' about.
While Ike in great wonder looked on in surprise,
Sayin' "Betsy, get up! You'll get sand in your eyes."
CHORUS
They stopped at Salt Lake to inquire the way,
And Brigham declared that sweet Betsy should stay.
But Betsy got frightened and ran like a deer
While Brigham stood pawin' the earth like a steer.
CHORUS
The alkali desert was burning and bar
Heart Attack Lyrics
Ive cracked My tempers spat Hot coal, fire and acid jack Ive been used I feel abused Something youve done has lit my fuse And I take my theories back Maybe Karma aint all that Coz you do whatever you please Everybody else is left to bleed Youre a heart attack Your heart is black Its whack Your mind is jacked
e,
And Isaac's soul shrank from the death that lurked there:
"Dear old Pike County, I'll go back to you."
Says Betsy, "You'll go by yourself if you do."
CHORUS
Long Ike and sweet Betsy attended a dance
And Ike wore a pair of his Pike County pants.
Sweet betsy was dolled up in ribbons and rings,
Said Ike "You're an angel, but where are your wings?"
CHORUS
A miner said "Betsy, will you dance with me?"
"I will, you old hoss, if you don't make too free;
But don't dance me hard. Do you want to know why?
Daggone you, I'm chock full of strong alkali."
CHORUS
They swam the wide rivers and crossed the tall peaks,
And camped on the prairie for weeks upon weeks,
Starvation
They reached California spite hell and high water.
CHORUS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Long Ike and sweet Betsy got married, of course
But Ike, getting jealous, obtained a divorce.
Sweet Betsy, quite satisfied, said with a shout
"Goodbye, you big lummox, I'm glad you backed out."
CHORUS
A favorite California immigrant song of the fifties. Carl
Sandburg writes: "It has the stuff of a realistic novel. It is
droll and don't -care, bleary and leering, as slippery and
lackadaisical as some of the comic characters of Shakespeare."

Angel Eyes Lyrics
Angel eyes angel eyes The ways of the world are feeble Don't give up on simple people Angle eyes stun those nights The blues you can live wthout It's not what you song's about Angel eyes angel eyes Tell me what would we're doin' Without the light from angel eyes You can move the hearts of men Just with a phrase you're turning
and cholera and hard work and slaughter,Angel eyes angel eyes The ways of the world are feeble Don't give up on simple people Angle eyes stun those nights The blues you can live wthout It's not what you song's about Angel eyes angel eyes Tell me what would we're doin' Without the light from angel eyes You can move the hearts of men Just with a phrase you're turning
They reached California spite hell and high water.
