Lyrics:

 

Roll along

Wagon Train.

Rollin over prairie where there ain’t no grass,

Rollin over mountain where there ain’t no pass.

Sittin on a board

eyein’ the weather

Prayin to the Lord

We stay together

Side by side on the Wagon Train.

 

Wagon Train, roll along.

Pickin’ up a passenger in every town,

Wonderin if he’s ever gonna shoot you down.

Lookin’ for a pal,

ain’t it a pity,

Lookin’ for a gal,

needn’t be pretty

If she’ll ride on the Wagon Train.

 

 

Wagons ho!

Gotta keep ’em on the run.

Time to go!

And follow the sun.

 

 

Roll along

Wagon Train.

Never had a cabin near a general store,

Only had a wagon and a forty four.

Sittin’ on a board

Eyein’ the weather

Prayin’ to the Lord

we stay together

Side by side

On the Wagon Train.
