Sweet Betsy de Pike
Oh
do
you
remember
sweet
Betsy
from
Pike
Oh,
te
souviens-tu
de
la
douce
Betsy
de
Pike
She
crossed
the
big
mountain
with
her
lover
Ike
Elle
a
traversé
la
grande
montagne
avec
son
amant
Ike
With
two
yoke
of
oxen
and
a
big
yeller
dog
Avec
deux
paires
de
bœufs
et
un
grand
chien
jaune
And
a
tall
Shanghai
rooster
and
one
spottled
hog
Et
un
grand
coq
de
Shanghaï
et
un
cochon
tacheté

They
soon
reached
the
desert
where
Betsy
gave
out
Ils
ont
rapidement
atteint
le
désert
où
Betsy
a
lâché
prise
And
down
in
the
sand
she
lay
rollin'
about
Et
dans
le
sable,
elle
s'est
mise
à
rouler
While
Ike
in
great
tears
he
looked
on
in
surprise
Alors
qu'Ike,
les
larmes
aux
yeux,
observait
avec
surprise
Saying,
"Betsy
get
up,
you'll
get
sand
in
your
eyes"
En
disant
: "Betsy,
lève-toi,
tu
vas
t'enfoncer
du
sable
dans
les
yeux"

Betsy
got
up
in
a
great
deal
of
pain
Betsy
s'est
levée,
souffrant
beaucoup
She
said
she'd
go
back
to
Pike
County
again
Elle
a
dit
qu'elle
retournerait
à
Pike
County
But
Ike
gave
a
sigh
then
they
fondly
embraced
Mais
Ike
a
soupiré,
puis
ils
se
sont
embrassés
tendrement
And
they
traveled
along
with
his
arm
around
her
waist
Et
ils
ont
continué
leur
route,
son
bras
autour
de
sa
taille
(Ike
and
Sweet
Betsy
went
out
to
a
dance
(Ike
et
Sweet
Betsy
sont
allés
danser
And
Ike
wore
a
pair
of
his
white
goudy
pants)
Et
Ike
portait
un
pantalon
blanc)
Betsy
was
dressed
up
in
ribbons
and
rings
Betsy
était
habillée
de
rubans
et
d'anneaux
Said
Ike,
"You're
an
angel
but
where
are
your
wings?"
Ike
a
dit
: "Tu
es
un
ange,
mais
où
sont
tes
ailes
?"

A
miner
said
Betsy
will
you
dance
with
me
Un
mineur
a
dit
à
Betsy
: "Veux-tu
danser
avec
moi
?"
She
answered,
"I
will
if
you
won't
make
too
free
Elle
a
répondu
: "Je
le
ferai
si
tu
ne
te
moques
pas
de
moi
I
can't
dance
too
hard
do
you
want
to
know
why"
Je
ne
peux
pas
danser
trop
fort,
tu
veux
savoir
pourquoi
?"
Because
I'm
so
full
of
that
strong
alkali"
Parce
que
je
suis
pleine
de
ce
puissant

Ike
and
sweet
Betsy
got
married
of
course
Ike
et
Sweet
Betsy
se
sont
mariés,
bien
sûr
But
Ike
was
so
jealous
he
gotta
divorce
Mais
Ike
était
tellement
jaloux
qu'il
a
demandé
le
divorce
Then
Betsy
well
satisfied
said
with
a
shout
Alors
Betsy,
satisfaite,
a
crié
:
"Goodbye
forever
I'm
glad
you've
backed
out"
“Au
revoir
pour
toujours,
je
suis
contente
que
tu
te
sois
retiré”
