When the wagons leave the city |
|
For the forest and further on |
|
Painted wagon of the morning |
|
Dusty roads where they have gone |
|
Sometimes travelin' through the darkness |
|
At the summer comin' home |
|
Foreign faces by the wayside |
|
Look as if they hadn't known |
|
All the sand was in their eyes |
|
And the desert that's dry |
|
In the country town |
|
Where the life was found |
|
Oh, the dancing and the singing |
|
Oh, the music when they play |
|
Oh, the fire that they saw there |
|
On the grave of no return |
|
Sometimes they found it |
|
Sometimes they kept it |
|
Often lost it on the way |
|
Pawnee shadow to possess him |
|
Sometimes ride inside of day |
|
Oh, the sand was in their eyes |
|
And the desert that's dry |
|
In this country town |
|
Where the map was found |
|
Oh, the sand was in their eye |
|
And the desert that's dry |
|
In this country town |
|
Where the wagons bound |
