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 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
