Bang! goes old Betsy
My only gun is Betsy
I can travel far and wide
With Betsy by my side
The only time I draw my gun
Believe me it is not in fun
I shoot it for defendin' me
I shoot for life and liberty
Bang! goes old Betsy
My one and only Betsy
I can travel far and wide
With Betsy by my side
One day I went away from town
I aimed to grin a wildcat down
The beast and I began to stare
It was a growlin' grizzly bear
Bang! went old Betsy
My one and only Betsy
I can travel far and wide
With Betsy by my side
I was a gettin' whippin' sticks
I got myself into a fix
The snow was frozen on the ground
A pack of hungry wolves came 'round
Bang! went old Betsy
My one and only Betsy
I can travel far and wide
With Betsy by my side
When I was ridin' through the woods
To trade old skins for boughten goods
Forty arrows hit a tree
And I knew the Sioux were out for me
Bang! went old Betsy
My one and only Betsy
I can travel far and wide
With Betsy by my side
The only time I draw my gun
Believe me it is not in fun
I shoot it for defendin' me
I shoot for life and liberty
Bang! goes old Betsy
My only gun is Betsy
I can travel far and wide
With Betsy by my side
