Verse 3
One (G major) evening quite (D major) early they
camped (G major) on the Platte
'Twas nearby the road (A major) on
a green (D major) shady flat
Where Betsy, (E minor) sore- (B minor) footed,
lay down (C major) to repose (G major)
With wonder, Ike (D major) gazed on that
Pike County rose (G major)
(With wonder,
he gazed (D major) on that (G major) Pike county rose)
Verse 4
The Shanghai ran (D major) off,
and their cattle (G major) all died
That morning the last (A major) piece
of (D major) bacon was fried
Poor (E minor) Ike was dis (B minor) couraged,
and (C major) Betsy got mad (G major)
The dog drooped his tail (D major) and
looked wondrously sad (G major)
The dog drooped his tail (D major) and
looked (G major) wondrously sad
Verse 5
They soon (G major) reached the desert,
where (D major) Betsy (G major) gave out
And down in the sand, (A major)
she lay (D major) rolling about
While (E minor) Ike half dis (B minor) tracted
looked (C major) on in surprise (G major)
Saying, "Betsy, get up (D major) ,
you'll get sand (G major) in your eyes"
Verse 6
Sweet (G major) Betsy got up (D major) in a great (G major) deal of pain
She declared she'd go (A major) back

But Ike (E minor) gave a sigh, (B minor)
and they (C major) fondly embraced (G major)
And they traveled along (D major) with
his arm round her waist (G major)
Verse 7
Who the (G major) damn for did (D major) I know,
who (G major) damn for the day
Who the damn for did (D major) I know,
who dam (G major) n for the day
