Subject: RE: Sweet Betsy From Pike - refrain???
The original lyrics by Stone, 1858, were posted in thread 29592, with the tooral lal looral lal looral lal la, etc., chorus.
Sweet Betsey from Pike

Stone set it to the tune "Villikins and His Dinah."

(Over time, the second 'e' has been dropped from 'Betsey')
