First Covered Wagon - Jimmie Driftwood[00:00:00]
Oh the first covered wagon that ever did travel[00:00:05]
From the mighty Mississippi to the California gravel[00:00:08]
Was loaded with a pair of Yankee-doodle hinges[00:00:11]
To swing that Golden Gate [00:00:14]
They left St Louis the roosters were a-crowing [00:00:17]
When they topped the Rocky Mountains[00:00:20]
The sun was still a-showing[00:00:21]
And the old ox team kept puffing and a-blowing[00:00:22]
Till they reached that Golden Gate [00:00:25]
The driver of the team was mighty bad to stutter[00:00:28]
And the Indian chiefs thought[00:00:31]
He really was a cutter[00:00:32]
When he milked a buffalo[00:00:33]
And made a big jug o' butter[00:00:34]
And greased his wagon and ate [00:00:36]
The first covered wagon that ever did travel[00:00:39]
From the mighty Mississippi[00:00:41]
To the California gravel[00:00:43]
Was loaded with a pair of Yankee-doodle hinges[00:00:44]
To swing that Golden Gate [00:00:47]
Oh about midnight[00:01:00]
When the earth began to quiver[00:01:01]
He took a dose o' pills[00:01:03]
For he thought it was his liver[00:01:04]
Then he dreamed of the girls[00:01:05]
On the Mississippi river[00:01:07]
And he dreamed of the Golden Gate [00:01:08]
The lightning flashed[00:01:11]
The thunder kept a-bragging[00:01:12]
And the old ox team started[00:01:13]
Pushing on the wagon [00:01:15]
A wheel came off[00:01:16]
And the axle started dragging[00:01:17]
In the mud on the Golden Gate [00:01:19]
The driver of the team[00:01:22]
Got a mighty clever notion[00:01:23]
Jumped in the water[00:01:25]
And he made a big commotion[00:01:26]
Drove his nails in the bottom of the ocean[00:01:27]
And he swung that Golden Gate [00:01:30]
The first covered wagon that ever did travel[00:01:33]
From the mighty Mississippi[00:01:35]
To the California gravel[00:01:37]
Was loaded with a pair of Yankee-doodle hinges[00:01:38]
To swing that Golden Gate[00:01:41]
