C.w. Mccall - Oregon Trail lyrics

(c.w. mccall, b. fries, c. davis) Did you see me at westport landing On the wide missouri shore? Did you hear the west wind calling In the spring of forty-four? [chorus] If the mud don't stay and the cattle don't stray We can make fort kearny by the middle of may If the mud don't stay and the cattle don't stray We can make fort kearny by the middle of may Did you see me at old fort kearny? Did you hear my trumpets blow? Did you write your name in stone, boys On the great platte river road? [chorus] If the wolf don't howl in the dark of the moon We can make scotts bluff by the middle of june If the wolf don't howl in the dark of the moon We can make scotts bluff by the middle of june Did you see that endless prairie Blowin' clean and pure and free? Did you hear that rollin' thunder On the wild nebraska sea? Did you climb the shining mountains? Did you cross that great divide? Did you pray to god almighty To let you down the other side? [chorus, but only by c.w.] Roll wagons, rollin' rollin' Roll wagons, rollin' home Roll wagons, rollin' rollin' Roll wagons, rollin' home Did 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 don't shine and the river don't rise We can make south pa** by the fourth of july If the sun don't shine and the river don't rise We can make south pa** by the fourth of july Did you see the high sierra Far beyond the burning sand? Did you find that golden valley? Did you reach the promised land? [chorus] If the snow don't fly and the river don't dry We can make that valley before we die If the snow don't fly and the river don't dry We can make that valley before we die
