《First Covered Wagon》歌词

[00:00:00] First Covered Wagon - Jimmie Driftwood

[00:00:05] Oh the first covered wagon that ever did travel

[00:00:08] From the mighty Mississippi to the California gravel

[00:00:11] Was loaded with a pair of Yankee-doodle hinges

[00:00:14] To swing that Golden Gate

[00:00:17] They left St Louis the roosters were a-crowing

[00:00:20] When they topped the Rocky Mountains

[00:00:21] The sun was still a-showing

[00:00:22] And the old ox team kept puffing and a-blowing

[00:00:25] Till they reached that Golden Gate

[00:00:28] The driver of the team was mighty bad to stutter

[00:00:31] And the Indian chiefs thought

[00:00:32] He really was a cutter

[00:00:33] When he milked a buffalo

[00:00:34] And made a big jug o' butter

[00:00:36] And greased his wagon and ate

[00:00:39] The first covered wagon that ever did travel

[00:00:41] From the mighty Mississippi

[00:00:43] To the California gravel

[00:00:44] Was loaded with a pair of Yankee-doodle hinges

[00:00:47] To swing that Golden Gate

[00:01:00] Oh about midnight

[00:01:01] When the earth began to quiver

[00:01:03] He took a dose o' pills

[00:01:04] For he thought it was his liver

[00:01:05] Then he dreamed of the girls

[00:01:07] On the Mississippi river

[00:01:08] And he dreamed of the Golden Gate

[00:01:11] The lightning flashed

[00:01:12] The thunder kept a-bragging

[00:01:13] And the old ox team started

[00:01:15] Pushing on the wagon

[00:01:16] A wheel came off

[00:01:17] And the axle started dragging

[00:01:19] In the mud on the Golden Gate

[00:01:22] The driver of the team

[00:01:23] Got a mighty clever notion

[00:01:25] Jumped in the water

[00:01:26] And he made a big commotion

[00:01:27] Drove his nails in the bottom of the ocean

[00:01:30] And he swung that Golden Gate

[00:01:33] The first covered wagon that ever did travel

[00:01:35] From the mighty Mississippi

[00:01:37] To the California gravel

[00:01:38] Was loaded with a pair of Yankee-doodle hinges

[00:01:41] To swing that Golden Gate
