[00:03.97] The promised land
[00:06.65] I'm going, I'm going, going, going to the bountiful,
[00:11.15] Bountiful land!
[00:14.22] Roll, wagons, roll!
[00:17.70] I am bound for the promised land,
[00:21.68] I'm bound for the promised land
[00:25.68] Oh who will come and go with me
[00:29.69] I am bound for the promised land
[00:35.67] It's a land of plenty that never fails where
[00:40.16] trees immortal grow,
[00:43.79] where rocks and hills and brooks and vales
[00:49.24] with milk and honey flow
[00:52.19] milk and honey, milk and honey, milk and honey flow.
[00:59.26] I am bound for the promised land,
[01:03.30] I'm bound for the promised land
[01:07.27] Oh who will come and go with me
[01:12.32] I am bound for the promised land
[01:16.34] Who will come and go with me
[01:18.32] I am bound for the promised land
[01:30.84] Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
[01:37.80] Roll away, you rolling river
[01:46.88] Oh, Shenandoah, I'm sure to leave you
[01:58.05] And away, I'm bound to go, cross the wide Missouri.
[02:26.11] Endless prairie, I wanna leave you
[02:41.50] I'm gonna leave you - goodbye!
[02:45.15] Because I don't aim to die
[02:48.60] Here on the prairie
[02:54.76] Where the wind blows so hard
[02:58.19] That you have to walk sideways
[03:01.91] To keep from flying
[03:06.21] I'm gonna leave this endless prairie
[03:11.00] Or I'm gonna die from trying
[03:41.02] I popped my whip and I bring the blood
[03:44.86] I make those leaders take the mud
[03:48.28] We grab the wheels and we turn 'em round
[03:53.06] One long pull and we're on hard ground
[03:54.85] Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[03:56.79] Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[03:59.84] Tim-a-ridee-oh, tim-a-roon-I-oh
[04:04.28] Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[04:11.05] When I got west, the hills were steep
[04:16.64] T'would make a tender person weep
[04:21.17] To hear me cuss, and pop my whip
[04:28.03] To see my oxen pull and slip
[04:29.88] Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[04:31.82] Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[04:33.90] Tim-a-ridee-oh, tim-a-ridee-oh, tim-a-ridee-oh! Tim-a-roon-I-oh
[04:41.59] Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[04:45.52] When I get home, I'll have revenge
[04:50.78] I'll land my family 'mong my friends
[04:56.15] I'll bid goodbye to the whip and line
[05:03.00] And drive no more in the wintertime
[05:06.71] Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[05:08.61] Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[05:10.60] Tim-a-ridee-oh, tim-a-ridee-oh, a-ridee-ohhhh
[05:17.48] Ohio (the promised land)
[05:19.60] Nebraska (the promised land)
[05:21.76] Wyoming (the promised land)
[05:24.08] Colorado (the promised land)
[05:28.20] The Promised Land!
[05:32.24] I am bound for the promised land,
[05:36.48] I'm bound for the promised land
[05:41.17] Oh who will come and go with me
[05:45.46] I am bound - for the promised land!
[05:51.48]
