Lyrics Niobrara C.W. McCall

Niobrara

(c.w. mccall, bill fries, chip davis)

Come ride with me cowboys
Ill tell you a story
Out where the whoopin cranes fly
Ill show you the white bones
Of giants in sandstone
Out where the wind never dies

Come sit by the campfire
Ill sing you a sad song
Of rivers that never return
Play soft on the mouth-harp
Strum slow on the guitar
And leave all the memries to burn

[chorus]
Roll on, niobrara
Roll on, niobrara
Roll on

Ill show you the bright shiny
Ribbon of silver
That flows through the sandhills at dawn
Ill find you the places
Where clear water races
Before all the traces are gone

[chorus]
Roll on, niobrara
Roll on, niobrara
Roll on

So pack up the bedroll
And cinch up the saddle
And head for the red mornin sky
Well sing one more song for
The wild niobrara
Out where the wind never dies

[chorus]
Roll on, niobrara
Roll on, niobrara
Goodbye
