Subject: Lyr Add: Heading for that Land of Gold
Heard at Recordlady on request page 11 or 12. Pretty! And what a sweet yodeling lesson! Improvise the yodel-- I've transcribed what I am sure must have been made up on the spot, just to give an idea of the shape. (A Dio, lady!)
HEADIN' FOR THAT LAND OF GOLD As sung by Wilf Carter
We're goin' home, we're goin' home. Our last round-up will soon be over. Old Paint is tired and growin' old-- We're heading for that land of gold.
Come a tie-yippee-yie come a-tie yippee ay Our lifelong race is run; Come a tie-yippee-yie I'm glad to say Our work is nearly done.
We'll say goodbye and soon we'll go We're heading for that land of gold.
Far away we will go To that land we long for so. Giddy-up old pal, the work is done, Git along old pal, the time 's come
To say goodbye and now we'll go; We're heading for that land of gold.
O lee o layee, o lee o lay-hee-dee Ah dee o layee, o layee, dee. Ah dee o layee, ah dee o lay-hee-dee Ah dee o layee, o d'layee, eh d'laydee, o d'lay-hee-dee.
Come a tie-yippee-yie come a-tie yippee ay Our lifelong race is run Come a tie-yippee-yie I'm glad to say Our work is nearly done.
We'll say goodbye and soon we'll go; We're heading for that land of gold.
Far away we will go To the land we long for so; Giddy-up old pal the work is done, Git along old pal the time is come
To say goodbye and now we'll go; We're heading for that land of gold.
O lee o layee, o lee d'lay-hee-dee O lee o layee, o d'layee, eh d'laydee, o d'lay-hee-dee.
