Lyrics Act I: Wells Fargo Wagon - Eddie Hodges

Act I: Wells Fargo Wagon

Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-coming down the street!
Oh please let it be for me!
Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-coming down the street
I wish, I wish I knew what it could be
I got a box of maple sugar on my birthday
In March, I got a grey mackinaw
And once I got some grapefruit from Tampa
Montgomery Ward sent me a bathtub and a cross cut saw
Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-coming down
Is it a pre-paid surprise or C.O.D?
It could be curtains
Or dishes,
Or a double boiler!
Tommy: Or it could be…
Townspeople: Yes, it could be,
yes you’re right it surely could be
Tommy: Something special
Townspeople: Something very very special
Tommy: Just for me
Townspeople: Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-coming down the street
Oh don’t let it pass my door
Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-coming down the street
I wish, I wish I knew what it was coming for
I got some salmon from Seattle last September
And I expect a new rocking chair
I hope I get my raisins from Fresno
The D.A.R has sent a cannon for the courthouse lair
Winthrop: Oh-ho the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin' now
I don’t know how I could ever wait to see
It could be something for someone who is no relation
But it could be…
Something special…
Just for me…
Townspeople: Oh-ho you Wells Fargo Wagon keep a comin'
Oh-ho you Wells Fargo Wagon keep a comin'
Oh-ho you Wells Fargo Wagon don’t you dare to make a stop
until
you stop
for
me!!!
