Thread Name: Origins: Sweet Betsy from Pike
Subject: Sweet Betsy from Pike
Last week I bought a CD with some nice versions of traditional songs. However, the singer has a lot of accent, and I couldn't understand what he says at the chorus of Sweet Betsy from Pike. I am aware that some versions are mere to-rall-ay to-rall-ay, but this singer actually says something. It goes like: Saying good bye Pike County farewell for a while, we will come back again ......................... I would be grateful for any comments, information, etc. about the missing words.

By the way, I couldn't find the lyrics of 'Night Visiting Sun'. Please, send your comments, etc. to my e-mail adress. Thanks in advance.
