Thread Name: Lyr Req: Oregon Trail
Subject: Lyr Add: OREGON TRAIL (from Tex Ritter)
Dicho, I couldn't make out all the words on the tape, but for what it's worth, here's what I could decipher (words I'm not sure of are in brackets):
OREGON TRAIL (De Rose/Hill) (from the film "Oregon Trail" (1959), sung by Tex Ritter)
An open range ahead, a blanket for a bed A friendly farm where lonely coyotes wail But wheels'll slowly creek (as) home sweet home they seek That's life on the Oregon Trail
Wagon train a-windin' 'cross the prairie Rolling onward through the storm and gales For the land of dreams could be all (dog) seen Down the Oregon Trail
Through the night the lord is in the saddle Ridin' herd beneath the moon so pale What (you norwich tray) till the break of day Down the Oregon Trail
There'll be apples on each (break) in Oregon There'll be bellies filled with golden grain There'll be cattle on each range in Oregon For there'll be plenty sun and rain
Hurry up, old (Pine) there, keep movin' Your faithfull little band must never fail 'Cross the Great Divide side by side we'll ride Down the Oregon Trail

I'm sorry for the incompleteness, perhaps someone else can fill in the blanks/queries?
