[Ads-l] Sweet Betsy From Pike

[James Landau]

I have a JPEG copy of the sheet music for "Sweet Betsy From Pike" which I will be happy to send to anyone who requests it.
The sheet music includes the words for four stanzas,but does not include the stanza about going to Placerville in which the narrator says "There's old Hang-Town".  (I believe the ADS-L list will not accept graphic attachments).
If memory serves, several years ago the Beetle Bailey comic contained an almost-nude picture of Sergeant Schnorkel, showing that he had a tattoo reading "Mademoiselle from Armentieres".
