The Oregon Trail

(album: Songs Of The West - 1961)

Wagon train go winding 'cross the prairie
Rolling onward through the storm and gale
Towards the land of dreams trudge the old ox teams
Down the Oregon Trail

Through the night the Lord is in the saddle
Riding herd beneath the moon so pale
Watching o'er ach stray till the break of day
Down the Oregon Trail

There'll be apples on each branch in Oregon
There'll be valleys filled with golden grain
There'll be cattle on each ranch in Oregon
For there'll be plenty sun and rain

Hurry up old pioneer, keep moving
Your faithful little band must never fail
'Cross the great divide side by side we'll ride
Down the Oregon Trail
Down the Oregon Trail

There'll be apples on each branch in Oregon
There'll be valleys filled with golden grain
There'll be cattle on each ranch in Oregon
For there'll be plenty sun and rain

Hurry up old pioneer, keep moving
Your faithful little band must never fail
'Cross the great divide side by side we'll ride
Down the Oregon Trail
Down the Oregon Trail
