Long Ike and sweet Betsy attended a dance,
Ike wore a pair of his Pike County pants,
Sweet Betsy was dressed all in ribbons and rings,
Said Ike 'You're an angel, but where are your wings?'

A miner came up, said 'Will you dance with me?'
'I will you old hog if you don't make too free,
And I'll tell you the reason, do you want to know why,
Doggone ye I'm chock full of strong alkali!'

Both verses from Burl Ives
