lirik lagu burl ives - old betsy
“bang” goes old betsy
my only gun is betsy
i can travel far and wide with old betsy by my side
(by my side…)
(by my side…)
one day i went away from town
i aim to grin a wildcat down
the beast and i begin to stare
it was a growlin’ grizzly bear
“bang” went old betsy
my one and only betsy
i can travel far and wide with old betsy by my side
when i was splittin’ fencing rails
a stranger ridin’ down the trail
took a rifle shot at me
i stepped behind a maple tree
“bang” went old betsy
my one and only betsy
i can travel far and wide with old betsy by my side
i was a gеttin’ whittlin’ sticks
i got myself into a fix
the snow was frozen on thе ground
a pack of hungry wolves came ’round
“bang” went old betsy
my one and only betsy
i can travel far and wide with old betsy by my side
(by my side…)
(by my side…)
once i was a guidin’ a wagon train
across the endless western plain
we were just ‘a beddin’ down
i heard the war~whoops goin’ ’round
“bang” went old betsy
my one and only betsy
i can travel far and wide with old betsy by my side
when i was a ridin’ through the woods
to trade off skins for bought~in goods
forty arrows hit a tree
i knew the sioux were after me
“bang” went old betsy
my one and only betsy
i can travel far and wide with old betsy by my side
(by my side…)
(by my side…)
the only time i draw my gun
believe me it is not in fun
i shoot it for defendin’ me
i shoot for life and liberty
“bang” went old betsy
my one and only betsy
i can travel far and wide with old betsy by my side
“bang” went old betsy
my one and only betsy
i can travel far and wide with old betsy by my side
