Lyrics for Narration 5
You know, women had it tough too movin' West The broad prairies, the thirst, the hunger There were just about too much to believe Especially for, for a young lady, born and bred back East Yet with all the troubles and the seemingly endless miles Across the great wastes, the plains, and the deserts Someone saw fit to throw a little human interest a little humor On a long, hard, almost unbelievable trip Made by two young lovers Sweet Betsy and Ike from Pike County Missouri
