Did you see me, at Westport Landing
On the wide Missouri shore Did you hear, the west wind callin' In the spring of Fourty-Four If mud don't stay, an' the cattle don't stray We can make Fort Carney by the middle of May If mud don't stay, an' the cattle don't stray We can make Fort Carney by the middle of May Did you see me, at Old Fort Carney Did you hear my trumpets blow Did you write, your name in stone boys On the great Platte River road If wolf don't howl in the dark a the moon We can make Scotts Bluff by the middle of June If wolf don't howl in the dark a the moon We can make Scotts Bluff by the middle of June Did you see, that endless prairie Blowin' clean an' pure an' free Did you hear, that rollin' thunder On the wild Nebraska sea Did you climb the shinin' mountains Did you cross that Great Divide Did you pray, to God Almighty Let you down, the other side Roll wagons, rollin' rollin' Roll wagons, rollin' home Roll wagons, rollin' rollin' Roll wagons, rollin' home Did you see me out on the desert Did you see, my oxen die Did you find a drop of water Did you hear my children cry If the sun don't shine an' the river don't rise We can make South Pass by the fourth of July If the sun don't shine an' the river don't rise We can make South Pass by the fourth of July Did you see the High Sierra Far beyond the burnin' sand Did you find that golden valley Did you reach that promised land If the snow don't fly And the river don't dry We can make that valley before we die If the snow don't fly And the river don't dry We can make that valley before we die |
