DE RAINBOW ROAD.
Copyright. 1891, by Wm. A. Pond & Co.
Words by Edward Harrigan. Music by Dave Braham.

Get ready for to travel de rainbow road;
It's made of golden gravel, de rainbow road:
Oh, keep a-climbing higher, de rainbow road;
Good children never tire on de rainbow road.

Chorus.
Oh, weary pilgrims, Gabriel's army,
When de silver trumpet blow'd,
Children in de golden sunset
Travel by de rainbow road.

Oh, goodness, ain't it sunny? de rainbow road;
Won't cost you any money, de rainbow road;
Fiery steeds am flying, de rainbow road;
be sinners am a-sighing on de rainbow road. - Chorus.

Oh, hear dem wings a-flapping, de rainbow road;
De spirits am a-rapping, tie rainbow road;
No apple-jack and onions, de rainbow road;
You never get no bunions on de rainbow road.- Chorus

Old Peter's bell am ringing, de rainbow road;
Celestial choir am singing, de rainbow road;
De wicked in a flutter, de rainbow road;
Dey have to skip de gutter on de rainbow road.- Chorus.
