Hi Jolly was a camel driver long time ago
They've got pretty girls in Albuquerque
Old timers out in Arizona tell you that it's true

Subject: Lyr Add: HI JOLLY (Randy Sparks) From: Joe Offer Date: 29 Jan 03 - 01:55 AM This is almost the same as what's posted above, but there were a couple of things I wanted to clean up. -Joe Offer- HI JOLLY (Randy Sparks) CHORUS Hi Jolly, Hey Jolly twenty miles today, by golly Twenty more before the morning light Hi Jolly, Hey-I gotta be on my way-I Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night. Hi Jolly was a camel driver, long time ago He followed Mr. Blaine out way out west Didn't mind the burning sand in that God-forsaken land But he didn't mind the pretty gals the best. Hi Jolly, Hey Jolly… They got pretty girls in Alberquerque 'Least that's what I've heard Pretty gals in Tucumcari too Now, Honey I ain't blind But I don't pay them any mind 'Cause I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you Hi Jolly, Hey Jolly… Old timers down in Arizona tell you that it's true You can see Hi Jolly's ghost a-travelin' still When the desert moon is bright He comes riding through the night Leading four and twenty camels across the hill. And singin' Hi Jolly... Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night Told my gal I'd be home Sunday ni-i-i-i-ight. Yee haw! ASCAP lists the songwriter as Randy Sparks, which is what I would have expected. BMI lists a song named "Hi Jolly" by songwriter Bruce Davidson, also listed as songwriter for "Mighty Mississippi," also recorded by the New Christy Minstrels. Transcribed from the New Christy Minstrels Ramblin album. |
