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.
