The Railroad Corral - Lyrics & Chords
Tune: The Irish Washerwoman
|
G |
| Oh, we're |
up in the morning ere breaking of day, |
|
D7 |
| The c |
huck-wagon's busy, the flapjack's in play; |
|
G |
| The |
herd is astir over hillside and vale, |
|
D7 |
G |
| With the |
night-riders rounding them |
into the trail. |
So come take up your cinches, come shake out your reins,
Come wake your old bronco and break for the plains,
Come roust out your steers from the long chapparal,
For the outfit is off to the railroad corral.
The sun circles upward; the steers as they plod,
Are pounding to powder the hot prairie sod,
And it seems when the dust makes you dizzy and sick,
That we'll never reach noon and the cool, shady crick.
But tie up your handkerchief, play up your nag,
Come dry up your rumbles and try not to lag,
Drive up your steers from the long chapparal,
For we're well on the road to the railroad corral.
