Lyrics
-
1. Day after day the wagons are rolling.
Onward and westward we ever must roam.
-
[Chorus]
Roll along, roll along, covered wagons!
Take us safely to our new home.
-
2. Night after night we sit round the campfire,
Singing the songs that remind us of home.
-
3. Someday we’ll reach the land of our dreaming,
Settle and build on some land of our own.
