Wagon Train (Elopin'and Hopin')[00:05.68]Frozen and dark in the desert tonight,[00:12.01]Pale face of the moon, just a glimmer of light[00:17.69]Covered wagons formed in a circle 'til[00:21.71]the stars disappear in the dawn's early light[00:28.50]The horses are tethered, the kids sleepin' tight,[00:34.56]most of the pilgrims bedded down for the night[00:39.99]I must get some sleep before I stand guard,[00:45.52]Underneath a thin ice-cold moon[00:51.20]Serenaded by a lonely coyote[00:56.77]who can't seem to carry a tune[01:02.38]Different folks got their reasons for travelin' out west,[01:08.04]Some reasons, better than others.[01:13.73]Some men running away from their wives and their lives,[01:19.80]Some women runnin' off with their lovers[01:24.72]Then there's the cardsharp who owns Wagon 3,[01:30.74]That useta belong to me[01:41.36]Desperadoes contemplatin' waylayin'my wagon train,[01:48.01]I'd advise on a change o' direction[01:53.02]Before you start messin' with me and my gun[01:59.26]And the pilgrims that I am protectin'[02:04.32]You'll have to wake early to catch us asleep,[02:10.00]After coffee and grits off we go[02:15.72]The sun ain't hardly above the horizon,[02:21.94]"We're movin' on - Wagons Ho!"[02:26.95]Different folks got their reasons for travelin' out west,[02:33.15]Some reasons, better than others.[02:38.56]Some men running away from their wives and their lives,[02:44.08]Some women runnin' off with their lovers[02:49.58]Then there's the cardsharp who owns Wagon 3,[02:55.83]That useta belong to me[03:00.91]I asked one hard drinker, known as a deep thinker,[03:07.26]Was he esapin' a past life of sorrow?[03:12.20]He avoided my eye and said in reply[03:18.29]"Ask when I'm sober tomorrow"[03:29.13]We're all hoping out West to begin a new life,[03:34.88]With luck I might find me a wife[03:40.43]I've been walkin' out nights with a sweet pilgrim gal,[03:46.62]And I figure on proposin' real soon[03:52.06]Serenaded by a lonely coyote,[03:57.49]By the light of a much warmer moon...
