ogallala rail - the wilder blue lyrics
[verse 1]
we left the frio valley pushing twenty five hundred head
i won’t be here when you return she turned to me and said
wild empty places held the echo of her words
i’d feel her memory coming and i’d give my horse the spurs
[chorus]
hey get ’em up now, gotta get ’em up now
gotta get on down the trail
we’re riding to the station on the ogallala rail
[verse 2]
we crossed the red rivеr in an early april flood
never thought i’d see thе end of the oklahoma mud
took the wheels off the wagon and floated them across
ruined half the coffee and sure was a bitter loss
[chorus]
hey get ’em up now, gotta get ’em up now
gotta get on down the trail
we’re riding to the station on the ogallala rail
[verse 3]
well it’s a three day rid to water boys, three days maybe four
might as well be a thousand to the nearest general store
we’ve been sleeping in the saddle, on the ground, or not at all
dreaming about a pretty girl and a beer that’s ten foot tall
[chorus]
hey get ’em up now, gotta get ’em up now
gotta get on down the trail
we’re riding to the station on the ogallala rail
[verse 4]
well it happened after midnight when my watch was almost done
heard and smelled smoke, sure enough they spooked and run
the kiowa came on us as we rode to get ’em turned
they stole 7 of our horses while a hundred acres burned
now there’s cowboys in nebraska from all over the west
drinking in the crystal palace and the good ole cowboys rest
you boys go ahead and gamble all your hard earned pay
i’m headed to make my fortune out the colorado way
[chorus repraise]
hey get ’em up now, gotta get ’em up now
gotta get ’em moving straight
the ride is finally over when the last one clears the gate
so long boys, so long now, see you down the trail
i’m buying me a ticket to ride the ogallala rail
and it’s so long boy, so long now, see you down the trail
i’m buying me a ticket to ride the ogallala rail
