The Ox-Driving Song 1 AmPop my whip and I bring the blood I Gmake the leaders take the mud; We grab the Amwheels and we turn them around One Glong, long pull and we're Amon hard ground. Chorus To me Amrol, to me rol, to my rideo To me Grol, to me rol, to my rideo To my ride- Amo, to my rudeo To me Grol, to me rol, to my Amrideo 2 On the Amfourteenth day of October-o I Ghitched my team in order-o To drive the Amhills of Saludio To me Grol, to me rol, to my Amrideo 3 When AmI got there the hills were steep, 'Twould Gmake any tender-hearted person weep To hear me Amcuss and pop my whip And Gsee my oxen Ampull and slip. 4 When I Amget home I'll have revenge, I'll Gland my family among my friends. I'll bid ad- Amieu to the whip and line And Gdrive no more in the Amwintertime. Weblinks ox+driving+song Ox-Driving Song auf Youtube Adapted from the German Wikibooks:b:de:Liederbuch/ Ox-Drawing-Song
