Roll Along Covered Wagon 1934

My folks trail'd
in an old cover'd wagon
back in the pioneer days.
And from childhood
they rais'd me to follow
in cover'd wagon ways.
I don't want a train
to go home in.
You keep your west bound mail.
Just set me on
an old "Prairie Schooner"
Singin' down the old home trail.

Roll along covered wagon
Roll along
To the turn of your wheels
I sing a song.
City ladies may be fine,
but give me that gal of mine
Roll along, covered wagon,
Roll along.
Goin' home covered wagon
goin' home,
for this cowboy
was never born to roam,
Long the road that doesn't change
to that old "Bar Twenty Range"
Roll along covered wagon
Roll along
Wipee! Tee yi yo! Old Timers!
Headin' for your ranch house door.
Wipee! Tee yi yo! Old Timers!
Corral me so I'll never stray no more.
Roll along, covered wagon,
Roll along.
'Cos you're takin' me right
where I belong.
City ladies may be fine
but give me that gal of mine
Roll along, covered wagon,
Roll along.

Roll along covered wagon
Roll along
To the turn of your wheels
I sing a song.
City ladies may be fine,
but give me that gal of mine
Roll along, covered wagon,
Roll along.
Goin' home covered wagon
goin' home,
for this cowboy
was never born to roam,
Long the road that doesn't change
to that old "Bar Twenty Range"
Roll along covered wagon
Roll along
Wipee! Tee yi yo! Old Timers!
Headin' for your ranch house door.
Wipee! Tee yi yo! Old Timers!
Corral me so I'll never stray no more.
Roll along, covered wagon,
Roll along.
'Cos you're takin' me right
where I belong.
City ladies may be fine
but give me that gal of mine
Roll along, covered wagon,
Roll along.
Roll along, covered wagon
'cos we're goin' home to stay
roll along covered wagon,
on your way.
