The Ox-Driving Song
Pop my whip and I bring the blood I make the leaders take the mud; We grab the wheels and we turn them around One long, long pull and we're on hard ground.

 * Chorus
 * To me rol, to me rol, to my rideo
 * To me rol, to me rol, to my rideo
 * To my ride- o, to my rudeo
 * To me rol, to me rol, to my rideo


 * 2
 * On the fourteenth day of October-o
 * I hitched my team in order-o
 * To drive the hills of Saludio
 * To me rol, to me rol, to my rideo


 * 3
 * When I got there the hills were steep,
 * 'Twould make any tender-hearted person weep
 * To hear me cuss and pop my whip
 * And see my oxen pull and slip.


 * 4
 * When I get home I'll have revenge,
 * I'll land my family among my friends.
 * I'll bid ad- ieu to the whip and line
 * And drive no more in the wintertime.
