Oregon trail

Ive been a grubbin on a little farm On the flat and windy plains Ive been listening to hungry cattle bawl Im gonna pack my wife and kids Im gonna hit that western road Im gonna hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall Chorus: Im gonna hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall Hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall Where the good rain falls a-plenty And the crops and orchards grow Im gonna hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall Well, my land is dry and cracklin And my chickens theyre a-cacklin Cause the dirt and dust is gettin in their craw They been layin flint rock eggs I had to bust em with a sledge Im gonna hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall Repeat Chorus Well, my hogs and pigs are squealin Theyre a-rockin and a-reelin Cause there aint no water to water in the draw Im gonna grab one by his tail Im gonna take that western trail And well hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall Now, my good old horse is boney Yes, hes dry and hungry too You can see his ribs three-quarters of a mile Throw my kids up on his back And the bay horse and the black And well hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall Repeat Chorus Well, my wife gets sort of ailin When that mean old dust is sailin And she wishes for the days beyond recall If theres work there in the future In that North Pacific land So well hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall Repeat Chorus
