Great singing, Joe!  Lud and I used to sing Sweet Betsy From Pike, while 
riding over the mountains to Lee's Flat on Death Valley ride years ago.  DVE 
no longer uses that route, but the memories linger........

> Hey la-lee la-lee lo,
> He's the best horse on this course!
> Hey la-lee la-lee lo."

> "Truman came up from gator-land,

> He says these rocks are just big sand,
> Hey la-lee la-lee lo."

> About the trail:
>
> "We're ridin' down this rocky road,
> Hey la-lee la-lee lo,
> It's got more rocks than bumps on a toad,
> Hey la-lee la-lee lo."
>
> Or just fun:
>
> "My butt is chafed, my feet are sore,
> Hey la-lee la-lee lo,
> But what the hell let's ride some more!
> Hey la-lee la-lee lo."
