|
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 Pass by the fourth of July
|
If the sun don't shine and the river don't rise
|
We can make South Pass 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
|
