In the chorus this song seems to have a variation on the Too-Ra phrase.

SWEET BETSEY FROM PIKE
John A. Stone, 1858

Oh, don't you remember sweet Betsey from Pike,
Who crossed the big mountain with her lover Ike,
With two yoke of cattle, a large yellow dog,
A tall Shanghai rooster and one spotted hog.

Chorus:
Tooral lal looral lal looral lal la.
