Narration 5 Songtext
von Johnny Cash

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
