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 branch 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 Pioneer there, keep movin'
Your faithfull little band must never fail
'Cross the Great Divide side by side we'll ride
Down the Oregon Trail

[instrumental break]

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 faithful little band must never fail
'Cross the Great Divide side by side we'll ride
Down the Oregon Trail
Down the Oregon Trail
