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.
