Last night as I lay on the prairie G C G
And looked at the stars in the sky, G D7
I wondered if ever a cowboy G C G
Could drift to that sweet by and by. G C D7 G
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.
(chorus)
Roll on, Roll on, G C
Roll on, little dogies, Roll on, Roll on, D7 C D7 G D7 G
Roll on, Roll on, G C
Roll on, little dogies, Roll on, D7 C D7 G
They say there will be a great round-up,
Where cowboys, like dogies, will stand,
To be marked by the riders of judgment
Who are posted and know every brand.
I'm afraid I will be a stray yearling
A maverick, unbranded on high;
To be cut out and run with the "rusties"
When the boss of the riders goes by.
chorus
Oh they tell of another great owner
Who's ne'er overstocked, so they say,
But who always has room for the cowboy
Who drifts from the straight narrow way.
They say he will never forget you
That he knows every action and look;
So, cowboy, you'd better get branded
Get your name in that great tally book.
