Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Trail of the Lonesome Pine
I was interested in the Japanese correspondent's memory of "Covered Wagon Lullaby" and I wonder if this an old song I heard in the mid- 50s on a 78 and wind-up gramophone at a friend's house, it went like this

Roll along, covered wagon, roll along,
Roll along, covered wagon, roll along
(line forgotten)
Shooting bullets in the air,
Roll along, covered wagon, roll along.
