| lyric | 1. Last night as I lay on the prairie,
And looked at the stars inthe sky,
I wondered if ever a cowboy
Would drift to that sweet by and by.
Ref.: Roll on, roll on, roll on little dogies,
roll on, roll on.
Roll on, roll on, roll on little dogies, roll on.
2. 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.
3. They say there will be a great round-up,
And cowboys like dogies will stand,
To be cut by the Riders of J udgment,
Who are posted and know every brand.
4. I wonder if ever a cowboy
Stood ready for that J udgment Day,
And could say to the Boss of the Riders,
„I’m ready, come drive me away.“ |
