Ox-Driving Song

1

Am Pop my whip and I bring the blood

I G make the leaders take the mud;

We grab the Am wheels and we turn them around

One G long, long pull and we're Am on hard ground.

Chorus

To me Am rol, to me rol, to my rideo

To me G rol, to me rol, to my rideo

To my ride- Am o, to my rudeo

To me G rol, to me rol, to my Am rideo

2

On the Am fourteenth day of October-o

I G hitched my team in order-o

To drive the Am hills of Saludio

To me G rol, to me rol, to my Am rideo

3

When Am I got there the hills were steep,

'Twould G make any tender-hearted person weep

To hear me Am cuss and pop my whip

And G see my oxen Am pull and slip.

4

When I Am get home I'll have revenge,

I'll G land my family among my friends.

I'll bid ad- Am ieu to the whip and line

And G drive no more in the Am wintertime.
