C.w. Mccall - Oregon Trail Lyrics
(c.w. mccall, b. fries, c. davis)Did you see me at westport landingOn the wide missouri shore?Did you hear the west wind callingIn the spring of forty-four?[chorus]If the mud dont stay and the cattle dont strayWe can make fort kearny by the middle of mayIf the mud dont stay and the cattle dont strayWe can make fort kearny by the middle of mayDid you see me at old fort kearny?Did you hear my trumpets blow?Did you write your name in stone, boysOn the great platte river road?[chorus]If the wolf dont howl in the dark of the moonWe can make scotts bluff by the middle of juneIf the wolf dont howl in the dark of the moonWe can make scotts bluff by the middle of juneDid you see that endless prairieBlowin clean and pure and free?Did you hear that rollin thunderOn the wild nebraska sea?Did you climb the shining mountains?Did you cross that great divide?Did you pray to God almightyTo let you down the other side?[chorus, but only by c.w.]Roll wagons, rollin rollinRoll wagons, rollin homeRoll wagons, rollin rollinRoll wagons, rollin homeDid you see me out on the desert?Did you see my oxen die?Did you find a drop of water?Did you hear my children cry?[chorus]If the sun dont shine and the river dont riseWe can make south pass by the fourth of julyIf the sun dont shine and the river dont riseWe can make south pass by the fourth of julyDid you see the high sierraFar beyond the burning sand?Did you find that golden valley?Did you reach the promised land?[chorus]If the snow dont fly and the river dont dryWe can make that valley before we dieIf the snow dont fly and the river dont dryWe can make that valley before we die
