GUEST,Cori Lyr Req: Oregon Trail (34) RE: Lyr Req: Oregon Trail 21 Aug 19


Hey, I hope someone can help.

I am looking for the song mentioned just above, which begins, "Wagon train go windin' cross the prairie." I can find the lyrics all right but only credited to Burl Ives, who may have sung the song but can't possibly have written it! This song has to be no later than 1930s, before Burl Ives was even performing. It turned up on a 1930s TCM short the other day, sung by a men's chorus dressed as cowboys, along with several other western songs. Of course I made no note of the title of the feature or the performers but they were great and I want to find it and also know who wrote and who else recorded this song! TCM does not list the short subjects shown between movies. Can anyone help? Thanks!
