The Wheel Of The Wagon Is Broken 1935

My heart's feeling sore
and I'm riding no more
since the boss
closed the old place down,
Lefty and Jim,
Buck and Andy and Slim,
Have all drifted away to the town.

The wheel of the wagon is broken
and it ain't gonna turn no more,
the old grey mare is dead and gone,
and there's weeds round the ranch house door,
there ain't any camp fires a smokin'
where we sang when the day was through,
the wheel of the wagon is broken
and the days of the West are through,
Ah've hung up my spurs and my saddle,
and I'm gonna miss 'em Ah knows,
My guns with my spurs
and my saddle,
'cos I'm wearing city clothes,
the old grey mare is missing,
and there's weeds round the ranch house door,
the wheel of the wagon is broken
and it ain't gonna turn no more.
Goodbye ole faithful,
goodbye to the pals that I knew,
Goodbye ole faithful
the days of the West are through.

The wheel of the wagon is broken
and it ain't gonna turn no more,
the old grey mare is dead and gone,
and there's weeds round the ranch house door,
there ain't any camp fires a smokin'
where we sang when the day was through,
the wheel of the wagon is broken
and the days of the West are through,
Ah've hung up my spurs and my saddle,
and I'm gonna miss 'em Ah knows,
My guns with my spurs
and my saddle,
'cos I'm wearing city clothes,
the old grey mare is missing,
and there's weeds round the ranch house door,
the wheel of the wagon is broken
and it ain't gonna turn no more.
Goodbye ole faithful,
goodbye to the pals that I knew,
Goodbye ole faithful
the days of the West are through.
