Roll On
(Sung To: "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean")
Submitted by Hollie
Last night as I lay on the prairie, And looked at the stars in the sky,
And I wondered if ever a cowboy, Could drift to that sweet by and by.
Roll on, roll on, Roll on, little dogies, roll on, roll on.
Roll on, roll on, Roll on, little dogies, roll on.
The road to that bright happy region, Is a dim narrow trail, so they say;
But the broad one that leads to perdition, Is posted and blazed all the way.
Roll on, roll on, Roll on, little dogies, roll on, roll on.
Roll on, roll on, Roll on, little dogies, roll on.
They say there will be a great roundup, And cowboys like dogies will stand,
To be cut by the riders of Judgment, Who are posted and know every brand.
Roll on, roll on, Roll on, little dogies, roll on, roll on.
Roll on, roll on, Roll on, little dogies, roll on.
I wonder if ever a cowboy, Stood ready for that Judgment Day,
And could say to the boss of the riders, I'm ready -- come drive me away.
Roll on, roll on, Roll on, little dogies, roll on, roll on.
Roll on, roll on, Roll on, little dogies, roll on.

10 little tumbleweeds by the corral gate:
The wind whooshed two away, and then

"We may as well dance with the wind."
Then there were six.
Six little tumbleweeds went out to explore;
Along came a whirlwind, and then there
were four.
Four little tumbleweeds admiring the view;
Then came a gentle breeze; so there were
two.
Two little tumbleweeds; round and round
they spun
Until they were out of sight; then there were
none!
