Oregon Trail

I been a grubbing on a little farm on the flat and windy plains

I been a listen in to the hungry cattle bawl

I'm gonna pack my wife and kids

I'm gonna hit that western road

I'm gonna hit that oregon trail this coming fall

I'm gonna hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Where the good rain falls a plenty

And the crops and orchards grow

I'm gonna hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Well,my land is dry and cracklin

And my chickens they're a cacklin

Cause the dirt and dust is getting in their craw

They been layin' flint rock eggs

I had to bust 'em with a sledge

I'm gonna hit that oregon trail this coming fall

I'm gonna hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Where the good rain falls a plenty

And the crops and orchards grow

I'm gonna hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Well,my dogs and pigs are squealing

They're a rockin' and a reelin

'Cause there ain't no water to water in the draw

I'm gonna grab one by his tail

I'm gonna take that western trail

And we'll hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Now my good old horse is boney

Yes he's dry and hungry too

You can see his ribs three-quarters of a mile

Throw my kids up on his back

Bend the bay horse and them black

And we'll hit that oregon trail this coming fall

I'm gonna hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Where the good rain falls a plenty

And the crops and orchards grow

I'm gonna hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Well my wife gets sort of ailin

When that mean old dust is sailin

And she wishes for the days beyond recall

If the work there's in the future in that north pacific land

So we'll hit that oregon trail this coming fall

I'm gonna hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Hit that oregon trail this coming fall

Where the good rain falls a plenty

And the crops and orchards grow

I'm gonna hit that oregon trail this coming fall
