| I been a grubbin' on a little farm on the flat and windy plains
|
| I been a list’nin to the hungry cattle bawl
|
| I’m gonna pack my wife and kids
|
| I’m gonna hit that western road
|
| I’m gonna hit that Oregon Trail this comin' fall
|
| Chrous
|
| Now, my true love she gets ailin'
|
| When this dry old dust gets sailin'
|
| And she wishes for the days beyond recall
|
| If we work hard there’s a future
|
| In that north Pacific land
|
| I’m gonna hit that Oregon trail this comin' fall
|
| Well my land is dry and cracklin'
|
| And my chickens they’re a cacklin'
|
| 'Cause this dirt and dust is getting' in their craw
|
| They been layin' flint rock eggs
|
| I got to bust 'em with a sledge
|
| I got to hit that Oregon trail this comin' fall
|
| Yes, my hogs and pigs are squealin'
|
| They’re a rockin' and a reelin'
|
| 'Cause there ain’t no mud to waller in the draw
|
| I’m gonna grab them by their tails
|
| Take them down that western trail
|
| I’m gonna hit that Oregon trail this comin' fall
|
| Well, my good old horse in bony
|
| And he’s tired and lonsesome too
|
| You can count his ribs three quarters of a mile
|
| Throw my bedroll on his back
|
| Both the bay horse and the black
|
| I’m gonna hit that Oregon trail this comin' fall
|
| I’m gonna hit that Oregon Trail this comin' fall
|
| I’m gonna hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall
|
| Where that good rain falls a plenty
|
| Where the crops and orchards grow
|
| I’m gonna hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall |
