One evening quite early they camped on the Platte
‘twas near the road on a green shady flat
Where betsy quite tired laid down to repose
While with yonder Ike gazed on his pike county rose

And out on the prairie rolled all kinds of trash
Then Ike heaved a sigh and they fondly embraced
And she travelled along with his arm ‘round her waist

Do you remember sweet Betsey from Pike,

4 4 5 6 7 7
Who crossed the wide prairie

7 -7 6 6 6
with her lover, Ike.

6 7 7 7 -7 6
With two yoke of oxen,

5 -5 6 -6 6
a big yellow dog,

5 5 5 5 6 -5
A tall shanghai rooster

-4 -4 4 4 4
and one spotted hog.

4 -4 5 5 5 6 -5
Hoodle dang, fol-de-dye do,

-4 -4 -4 4 4 4
Hoodle dang, fol-de day.

Out on the prairie one bright starry night,
They broke out the whisky and Betsey got tight;
She sang and she shouted and danced o’er the plain,
And made a great show for the whole wagon train.
Hoodle dang, fol-de-dye do,
hoodle dang, fol-de day.

The Injuns came down in a wild yelling horde,
And Betsey was skeered they would scalp her adored;
Behind the front wagon wheel Betsey did crawl,
And fought off the Injuns with musket and ball.
Hoodle dang, fol-de-dye do,
hoodle dang, fol-de day.

They soon reached the desert, where Betsey gave out,
And down in the sand she lay rolling about;
While Ike in great terror looked on in surprise,
Saying, «Get up now, Betsey, you’ll get sand in your eyes.»
Hoodle dang, fol-de-dye do,
hoodle dang, fol-de day.

The wagon tipped over with a terrible crash,
And out on the prairie rolled all sorts of trash;
A few little baby clothes done up with care
Looked rather suspicious — though ’twas all on the square.
Hoodle dang, fol-de-dye do,
hoodle dang, fol-de day.

The Shanghai ran off and the cattle all died,
The last piece of bacon that morning was fried;
Poor Ike got discouraged, and Betsy got mad,
The dog wagged his tail and looked wonderfully sad.
Hoodle dang, fol-de-dye do,
hoodle dang, fol-de day.

They swam the wide rivers and cross the tall peaks,
And camped on the prairie for weeks upon weeks,
Starvation and cholera and hard work and slaughter,
They reached California spite of hell and high water.
Hoodle dang, fol-de-dye do,
hoodle dang, fol-de day.

Long Ike and sweet Betsey attended a dance,
Where Ike wore a pair of his Pike County pants;
Sweet Betsey was covered with ribbons and rings.
Said Ike, «You’re an angel, but where are your wings?»
Hoodle dang, fol-de-dye do,
hoodle dang, fol-de day.

A miner said, «Betsey, will you dance with me?»
«I will that, old hoss, if you don’t make too free;
But don’t dance me hard. Do you want to know why?
Doggone you, I’m chock full of strong alkali.»
Hoodle dang, fol-de-dye do,
hoodle dang, fol-de day.

Long Ike, and sweet Betsey got married of course,
But Ike, getting jealous, obtained a divorce;
And Betsey, well satisfied, said with a shout,
«Good-by, you big lummux, I’m glad you backed out.»
Hoodle dang, fol-de-dye do,
hoodle dang, fol-de day.

Now the first of December was covered with snow
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Lord, the Berkshires seemed dreamlike
on account of that frosting
With ten miles behind me
and ten thousand more to go
There’s a song that they sing
when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me

Sleep my little one,
Sleep my pretty one,

REPEAT

I really like this song. Its cheerful, entertaining, and challenging.
The most
challenging part of this song is the speed and
timing, playing the notes is easy — but it takes
an Intermediate, if not expert to play at the
speed of the midi. Its an irish song, and I think it originally was
made for the fiddle, but either way
has made it to the harmonica.Enjoy.

All I am is a man

I want the world in my hands

I hate the beach

But I stand
4 -4 5 -4 4 -2 4 -4 -4 4 -4
In California with my toes in the sand

Use the sleeves of my sweater

Let’s have an adventure
-4 -4 -4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 -4 -4 -4 5
Head in the clouds but my gravity’s centered
5 -4 5 -4 5 4 4 6 5
Touch my neck and I’ll touch yours
5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 -4 5 5 -4 4, 4 -2
You in those little high-waisted shorts, oh

-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 4
She knows what I think about
-4 -4 -4 -4 5 5
And what I think about
5 -4, 4 4
One love, two mouths
5 -4, 4 4
One love, one house
-4 5, 4 4
No shirt, no blouse
5 -4, 4 4 4
Just us, you find out
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 5 -4 -4 4 4, 5
Nothing that I wouldn’t wanna tell you about, no

(Chorus)
-4 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -2 -5 5
‘Cause it’s too cold
4 -5 5 4 -4
For you here and now
4 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -2 -5 5
So let me hold
4 -5 5 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3 -2 -3 4
Both your hands in the holes of my sweater

Oh, Sweet Pea
7 8 -6
Come on and dance with me
7 -7 -7 -7 -8 6
Come on, come on,
8 8 8 8
come on and dance with me
8 -9 8 -8 7 -88-87
Oh, Sweet Pea

Won’t you be my girl
-7 -7 -7 -8 6
Won’t you, won’t you,
8 8 8 8
won’t you be my girl
-9 8 -8 7 -88-87

I went to a dance just the oth-er night
6 7 7 7 8 7 7 -7-6-7 7
I saw a girl there she was out of sight
6 7 7 7 8-8 7 7 -7-6 -7 7
I asked a friend of mine who she could be
6 7 7 7 7 8-8 7 -7-6 -7 7
He said that her friends
6 7 7 7 8-8
just call her Sweet Pea
7 -7 -6 -7 7

Oh, Sweet Pea
7 8 -6
Come on and dance with me
7 -7 -7 -7 -8 6
Come on, come on,
8 8 8 8
come on and dance with me
8 -9 8 -8 7 -88-87
Oh, Sweet Pea
7 8 -6
Won’t you be my girl
-7 -7 -7 -8 6
Won’t you, won’t you,
8 8 8 8
won’t you be my girl
-9 8 -8 7 -88-87

I walked on over and I asked her to dance
Thinkin’ maybe later on
We’d be makin’ romance
But every guy there was thinkin’like me
I had to stand in line
To get a dance with Sweet Pea

Oh, Sweet Pea
Come on and dance with me
Come on, come on, come on and dance with me
Oh, Sweet Pea
Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you, won’t you, won’t you be my girl

I finally got to whisper sweet words in her ear
Convinced her that we oughta get away from there
We took a little walk
I held her close to me
And underneath the stars I said to Sweet Pea

Oh, Sweet Pea I love you can’t you see
Love you, love you, love you can’t you see
Oh, Sweet Pea
Won’t you be my girl
Won’t you, won’t you, won’t you be my girl

Swanee River

5 -4 4 5 -4 4 7 -6 7

Way down upon the Swanee River,

6 5 4 -4

Far, far away,

5 -4 4 5 -4 4 7 -6 7

That’s where my heart is turning ever.

6 5 4 -4 -4 4

That’s where the old folks stay.

-7 7 -8 6 6 -6 6 7

Up and Down the whole creation,

7 -6 6 5 -4

Sadly I roam.

5 -4 4 5 -4 4 7-6 7

Still longing for the old plantation.

6 5 4 -4 -4 -4 4

And for the old folks at home.

About this song: This is the state song for the great state of
Florida. This song is also commonly known as Old Folks at Home.

5 -4 4 5 -5 4 7 -6 7
Way down u-pon the Swa-nee Riv-er,

6 5 4 -4
Far, far a-way,

5 -4 4 5 -4 4 7 -6 7
There’s where my heart is turn-ing ev-er,

6 5 4 -4 -4 4
There’s where the old folks stay.

5 -4 4 5 -4 4 7 -6 7
All up and down the whole cre-a-tion,

6 5 4 -4
Sad-ly I roam,

5 -4 4 5 -4 4 7 -6 7
Still long-ing for the old plan-ta-tion,

6 5 4 -4 -4 -4 4
And for the old folks at home.

-7 7 -8 6 6 -6 6 7
All the world is sad and drear-y,

7 -6 -5 -6 6
Ev-‘ry where I roam;

5 -4 4 5 -4 4 7 -6 7
Oh, broth-er how my heart grows wear-y,

6 5 4 -4 -4 -4 4
Far from the old folks at home.
