Wagon wheels (rollin' rollin' rollin')
Wagon wheels
Keep on a-turnin' (turnin')
Wagon wheels
Roll along (rollin' rollin' rollin')
Sing your song
Carry me over the hill (carry me over the hill)
Roll on mule there's a steamer at the landin'
Waitin' for this cotton to load
Roll on mule the boss is understandin'
There's a pasture at the end of the road
Wagon wheels (rollin' rollin' rollin')
Wagon wheels
Keep on a-turnin' (turnin')
Wagon wheels
Roll along sing your song
Wag-on wheels carry me ho-o-o-o-ome
Wagon wheels carry me home
(Wagon wheels carry me home)

Don't Fence Me In
02:26

Wildcat Kelly back again in town
Was standing at the jailors side
And when that jailer said
"I'm sendin' you to jail"
Wildcat raised his head and cried…
Oh give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever, but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose
Let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the Western skies
On my Cayuse
Let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in.

Riders in the Sky
03:16
|
|||
|
A lone cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
A-plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, ghost riders in the sky
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hots breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered cross the sky
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all
Soaked with sweat
They're riding hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet
They're ridin' hard forever on that range up in the sky
Just to catch the devil's herd as they ride on hear their cry
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, ghost riders in the sky
The riders rode on by him and he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on the range
Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride
A-trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, the ghost riders in the sky

Cool Water
03:52
|
|||
|
All day I face the barren waste without the taste of water
Cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry and souls that cry for water
Cool water
The night are cool and I'm a fool each stars a pool of water
Cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn and carry on to water
Cool water
Keep a movin' Dan, don't you listen to him Dan, he's a devil not a man
And he spreads the burnin' sand with water
Dan can't you see that big green tree where the waters runnin' free
nd it's waiting there for me and you
Water, cool water
The shadows sway and seem to say tonight we pray for water
Cool water
And way up there He'll hear our prayer and show us where there's water
Cool Water
Dan's feet are sore he's yearning for just one thing more than water
Cool water
Like me, I guess, he'd like to rest where there's no quest for water
Cool water

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
Oh, Shenandoah's my native valley
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah's my native valley
Away
We're bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri
Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah I'm bound to leave you
Away
I'm bound away
'Cross the wide Missouri

Tumblin' Tumbleweeds
03:02
|
|||
|
See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds
Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go, but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds
I know when night has gone
That a new world's born at dawn
I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds

Blue Prairie

Blue prairie.
Blue echos ring.
Blue as I sing of a longing blue as you.
Weary day and lonely night
Seem to say that nothing's right
Everything is feeling blue
Here in my very soul I feel it too.
Far in the distant hills I hear a cry.
Then a silent hush but no reply.
Prairie won't you tell me true
Why have they spread this gloomy blanket of blue over you?
Blue prairie.
Blue are the skies.
Blue are the sighs of a night wind falling.
Blue prairie
Blue are the hills
Blue are the trills of a night bird calling.
Every beating heart beats a rhythm that is blue
And the moon has cast a blue reflection in the dew
So the wind while on its its way
Seems to cry and sigh and say blue
Blue prairie
Blue echo's ring
Blue as I sing of a longing blue as you.

The twilight shadows deepen into night dear
The city lights are gleaming or' the snow
I sit alone beside the cherry fire dear
I'm dreaming dreams of not so long ago
I fancy it is Springtime in the mountains
The flowers with their colors are aflame
And everyday I hear you softly saying
I'll wait until the Springtime comes again.
When It's sprtngtime in the rockies
I am coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountians
Which your bonny eyes of blue
One again I'll say I love you
While the birds sing the day all the day
When it's it springtime in the rockies
In the rockies far away.
(yodel)
When It's sprtngtime in the rockies
I am coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountians
Which your bonny eyes of blue
One again I'll say I love you
While the birds sing the day all the day
When it's it springtime in the rockies
In the rockies far away.

Twilight on the Trail
02:09
|
|
||
|
When it's twilight on the trail and I jog along
The world is but a dream and the ripple of the stream is my song.
When it's twilight on the trail and I rest once more
My ceiling is the sky and the grass on which I lie is my floor
Never ever have a nickel in my jeans.
Never ever have a debt to pay.
Still I underhand what real contentment means.
Guess I was born the way.
When it's twirling on the trail and my voice is still
Please plant this heart of mine
Underneath a lonesome pine on the hill.
When it's twilight on the trail.

Will there be sagebrush in heaven?
And will the be tumbleweeds?
Will there be corrals where my old saddlepals
Every night in the moonlight would meet?
I've counted each star in these bright western skies
Rare beauty is all I can see
Where the Red River flows and the sweetest flower grows
In heaven what more can there be?
Will there be sagebrush in heaven?
And will the be tumbleweeds?
Acres of grain and wide open plains
What more up in heaven can there be?

Song of the Bandit

ee li oli yip ioli yip ioli ay
he brings a token of his love
Swift as the wind he goes high as the hills he knows she's waiting
For his hee li oli yip ioli ay
hee li oli yip ioli ay
Long, long ago in old Wyoming lived a maid
Fair as the sweetest flower bloomin' in the shade
She loved a bandit bold who roamed the prairie o'er
And every night she'd listen for his call
Then far from the west his voice came ringing
ridin' a wild horse he'd came singing
Hee li oli yip ioli ay
Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ya he brings a token of his love
Swift as the wind he goes for high as the hills he knows she's waiting
For his hee li oli yip ioli ay
hee li oli yip ioli ay
One night he rode away but never to return
Danger was waitin' now his love must ever yearn
Long days and lonely nights she waited all in vain
Till winter passed and summer came again
Still every night when the moon came shining for his song her heart was pining
Hee li oli yip ioli ay
Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ya he brings a token of his love
Swift as the wind he goes for high as the hills he knows she's waiting
For his hee li oli yip ioli ay
hee li oli yip ioli ay
One night an angel brought a message from her love
Told her he waited in the starry sky above
Softly she closed her eyes and bade the angel go
And then the whole world echoed to his song
For straight down a moonbeam he came ridin'
out of the sky on a winged horse glidin'
Hee li oli yip ioli ay
Hee li oli yip ioli yip ay oli ya he brings a token of his love
Swift as the wind he goes for high as the hills he knows she's waiting
For his hee li oli yip ioli ay
hee li oli yip ioli ay.

Sagebrush Symphony
02:01

|
(Yodel)
A yippie yo, yippie yay at the break of the day
I ride along with a song in my heart all the way
I find an open range, a land that is free
Out where the skies of blue keep smiling down on me
And when the sun goes to rest in the heart of the west
The moon above will return and the campfires burn
To the stars above I'll sing of my love
With sagebrush symphony.
(Yodel)
You'll hear the sweet melody in the sigh of breeze
And all day long hear the song of the birds in the tress
When the stars come creeping into the sky
The lonely prairie lobo sings a lullaby
You hear the call of the wild in the twilight beguiied
You'll hear the blend at end in melodious style
When the echoes fade this sweet serenade is a sagebrush symphony.
(Yodel)

Homecoming
03:26

There'll be a homecoming some morning
When Jesus calls us away
I'll see mama and daddy
Lord I am ready
For heaven's homecoming day
Precious ones have gone on before
Our Lord waited for no man
Salvation will gain us
A ticket to see them
And a place in God's final plan.
He will come like a thief in the night
To take us to heaven on high
There we'll gather once
With those we adore
In a place where we never shall die.
