Old betsy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Ban[F]g goes old Betsy,
my only gun is [C]Betsy.
I can travel far and wide
with Betsy by my side.
The only time I draw my gun,
believe [F]me it is [C]not in fun.
I [F]shoot it for defend[C]ing me.
I shoot for life and liberty.
[F]Bang goes old Betsy,
my one and only Bet[C]sy
I can travel far and wide
with Betsy by my side
One day I went away from town,
I [F]aimed at Grin [C]a wildcat down the beast
[F]And I began to [C]stare,
it was a growling grizzly bark
[F]Bang went old Betsy, my one and only [C]Betsy
I can travel far and wide
with Betsy by my side
I was a -gettin' whippin' sticks,
I [F]got myself in[C]to a fix
The [F]snow was frozen [C]on the ground,
a pack of hungry wolves came round
[F]Bang went old Betsy, my one and only [C]Betsy
I can travel far and wide
with Betsy by my side
When I was riding through the woods
to [F]trade off skins for [C]bought goods
[F]Forty arrows [C]hit a tree
and I knew the Sioux were out for me
[F]Bang went old Betsy, my one and only [C]Betsy
I can travel far and wide
with Betsy by my side
The only time I draw my gun,
believe [F]me, it is [C]not in fun
I [F]shoot it for defend[C]ing me,
I shoot for life and liberty
[F]Bang goes old Betsy,
my only gun is [C]Betsy,
I can travel far and wide
with Betsy by my side.
