Betsy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]Oh, [Em]Bets[Dm]y, sw[G]eet[C] Betsy,
[G]my [C]fair prairie rose
So slender and pale [G]in your
mail order clothes
All [F]decked out in [Em]ruffles
and [G]ribbons and [C]rings
You're just like an angel,
only where are your wings?
Oh, [F]Betsy, sweet [C]Betsy
Let's change your [G]name
and [C]stake a claim
Where cares will never find us,
oh, [F]Betsy, sweet [C]Betsy.
We'll hitch our dream to a 20 -mule team
and leave the world behind us,
whoopee [F]-tie -ie [G]-ie.
[C]There's love in [G]them hills far awa[C]y,
whoopee [F]-tie -ie [C]-ie,
a -wait[G]ing for Betsy [C]and me.

[Verse 2]
A starch -collared parson
[G]lives down [C]by the gulch
He'd hitch us right up,
[G]but he charges too much
The old [F]circuit rider [Em]will [G]be just as nice
[C]He'll splice for half price
and bring his own bag of rice.
Oh, [F]Betsy, sweet [C]Betsy.
We'll jingle [G]spurs [C]on cuckleburs
where prairie dogs won't hound us.
Oh, [F]Betsy, sweet [C]Betsy.
With plenty to [G]eat of [C]buffalo meat
and heavens all around us.
[F]Oh, pie, pie, [C]pie, pie, pie,
pie, pie, pie, pie, pie, pie.
There's [G]love in them hills far [C]away.
Oh, [F]Louie, Louie, [C]Louie, Louie, Louie,
waiting [G]for Betsy and [C]me.
[Dm][G][C]
