Pioneer |
| Go to sleep little Cory for you can’t understand |
| You’re a sick little baby in your mothers tired hands |
| Well your Daddy fetched the doctor but he had to use his gun |
| He’s always been reckless and he’s always on the run |
| Well the doctor says he’s worried cause your fever hadn’t broke |
| Gonna wrap you in a blanket gonna put you on a boat |
| Sail across the mississippi to a town where music plays |
| Gonna steak you penicillin make your fever go away |
| And when you grow up don’t you hate your momma and daddy |
| Cause they gave you everything that you ever had |
| And it ain’t no wonder that most dont make it |
| No wonder so many die, it ain’t easy to be a pioneer when the land that you |
| move to is dry |
| Wake up little Cory and get the water from the well |
| Count to nine Mississippi then your Daddy needs your help |
| Give the feed to the chickens and in the rows you plant the corn |
| Get the rations up for winter and build a fire to keep it warm |
| And you’ll learn to use a riffle and you’ll learn to use a knife |
| And you’ll learn how to hunt and you’ll learn how to fight |
| And you learn to pack a saddle and you take it off to town |
| Just a three days of riding sell the skinds and turn around |
| And when you grow up don’t you hate your Momma and Daddy |
| Cause they gave you everything that they ever had |
| And it ain’t no wonder that most don’t make it |
| No matter how hard they try, it ain’t easy to be a pioneer when the land that |
| you move to is dry |
| Go to sleep little Cory for you’re a grown boy |
| Gonna have to be the man now with your Daddy off to war |
| Keep your eye on the horses and keep your mother safe |
| Got two hungry sisters and another on the way |
| And when you grow up don’t you hate your Momma and Daddy |
| Cause they gave you everything that they ever had |
| And it ain’t no wonder that most don’t make it |
| No wonder so many die, it ain’t easy to be a pioneer when the land that you |
| move to is dry |
| It ain’t easy to be a pioneer when the land that you move to is dry |
