Sweet Betsy from Pike

[ellen]

Mr. Lightfoot played a few bars of this last night, sort of wondering if anyone might be familiar with it. I heard a version of it on Back Porch Music (I think) while driving from western NC not so long ago & just roared with laughter - I had not heard it in years. I can't seem to find the version I heard, but this will have to do. As I recall, the version I heard was a bit naughtier.
