Lyrics:
The covered wagon rolled right along
While the pioneers gave out a happy song
Sue and Pappy did the drivin'
Mammy cooked and kept us thrivin'
Get the lead out, momma
Pack up everything we own
The smogs about to get me
And I've got a mind to roam
In my covered wagon
Honey, down
Twin Cities to Oelwein
In the morning sunshine
Covered wagons struggling to pull
A long train so full
Get them out they say
Get the train on its way
Those days are gone
We said so long.
Covered wagons carry on
You'll never see a cloudy days
Crash, burn, don't fade away
Say that I don't need you
on the porch of that cabin
Watched 'em all go to Texas in a covered wagon
He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow
And he played a little tune
musn't let Will see you cry
Covered wagons keep on rolling never question or ask why
Matilda work your fingers to the bone
Read your Bible pray
set
Well I'm a writer
LA's changed a lot over the years
Since those brave goldrush pioneers
Came in their creaky covered wagons
Far as they could
In the days of covered wagons
A man had his own way
Whether talkin' to a woman
Or crossing the USA
No telephones were ringing
No angry words
the grave (searchin')
For his master who is long, long gone.
In the days of the old covered wagon, when they camped on the flats for the night
With the stars
Mama Stewart sees
She rode the covered wagons west
When she was only seven
But she came to California on a plane
She said at ninety four she
set
Well I'm a writer
LA's changed a lot over the years
Since those brave goldrush pioneers
Came in their creaky covered wagons
Far as they could
And he watched 'em all go to Texas in a covered wagon
He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow
And he played a little tune called the New Cut
Back in the days of covered wagons
A man had his own way
Whether talkin' to a woman
Or crossing the U.S.A.
No telephones were ringing
No angry words
Back in the days of covered wagons
A man had his own way
Whether talkin' to a woman
Or crossing the U.S.A.
No telephones were ringing
No angry words
hundreds of years ago,
When they first came in the covered wagons from the east to the west,
They went all the way across and they got to the top
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'
and Tupperware drums
A harmonica and a box guitar
In a canvas covered wagon stuff with apples and with guns
We quietly slipped across the border into Arkansas
But
Covered wagon medicine show
Take you to the place where the healing flows
Weak in spirit we got the juice
won't save your soul it'll shine your
outsource the wattage
And I'm sleeping now (Wow!) And the settlers laugh
You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash
You won't be laughing when
In our covered wagon times when dad he had his captain eyes
We'd get the steel horse moving on the straights and lines of 95
And mom she was our
covered wagons crash
You won't be laughing when you're hosted by the ghost of Christmas past
You won't be laughing when your blow up doll's
got a headache
people who were here long before us
Before the covered wagons, before they lost it all
They were hunters, they were fishermen und they often fought
many a refrain
Though not to those whose land it was
Long before the name
By covered wagon, station wagon
Train and plane to find
The promise
was obvious, but how many stripes?
Later, we added more stars and bought Alaska, wholesale
Put an ad in The New York Times
It read
Wanted, covered
