The Ox-Driving Song[edit | edit source]

1

[Am]Pop my whip and I bring the blood
I [G]make the leaders take the mud;
We grab the [Am]wheels and we turn them around
One [G]long, long pull and we're [Am]on hard ground.

Chorus

To me [Am]rol, to me rol, to my rideo
To me [G]rol, to me rol, to my rideo
To my ride- [Am]o, to my rudeo
To me [G]rol, to me rol, to my [Am]rideo

2

On the [Am]fourteenth day of October-o
I [G]hitched my team in order-o
To drive the [Am]hills of Saludio
To me [G]rol, to me rol, to my [Am]rideo

3

When [Am]I got there the hills were steep,
'Twould [G]make any tender-hearted person weep
To hear me [Am]cuss and pop my whip
And [G]see my oxen [Am]pull and slip.

4

When I [Am]get home I'll have revenge,
I'll [G]land my family among my friends.
I'll bid ad- [Am]ieu to the whip and line
And [G]drive no more in the [Am]wintertime.
