C.w. Mccall - Niobrara lyrics

(c.w. mccall, bill fries, chip davis) Come ride with me cowboys I'll tell you a story Out where the whoopin' cranes fly I'll show you the white bones Of giants in sandstone Out where the wind never dies Come sit by the campfire I'll sing you a sad song Of rivers that never return Play soft on the mouth-harp Strum slow on the guitar And leave all the mem'ries to burn [chorus] Roll on, niobrara Roll on, niobrara Roll on I'll show you the bright shiny Ribbon of silver That flows through the sandhills at dawn I'll find you the places Where clear water races Before all the traces are gone [chorus] Roll on, niobrara Roll on, niobrara Roll on So pack up the bedroll And cinch up the saddle And head for the red mornin' sky We'll sing one more song for The wild niobrara Out where the wind never dies [chorus] Roll on, niobrara Roll on, niobrara Goodbye
