RE
Daddy brought home a photograph
SOL RE
from the paper yesterday.
RE
It showed a line of wagons
SOL LA
Movin' someplace far away.
SOL
That picture made my Daddy smile
RE LA SIm
And it made my Momma cry.
SOL
Seems like Daddy's wagonload of dreams
LA
have long since passed him by.
CHORUS
SOL
And the dreams that make a sparrow fly
RE
can make an eagle fall.
SOL
One that makes a rich man money
RE LA
Ain't no dream at all.
SOL
It's a crying shame to wake up
RE LA SIm
Just to find its all been broke in two.
SOL RE
Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.
2. Well, he talked on all through suppertime
'bout a good prospector's life.
Couldn't see Momma didn't want to be
No good prospector's wife.
He said we best sail out and go
before the weather turns to cold.
Maybe buy ourselves an extry horse
to carry all that gold.
CHORUS
3. Well, I got up as soon as the first light came
to start the mornin' fire.
Wonderin' if my Momma's will
Cooled that man's desire.
And inside the stove upon the coals
And ash and paper lay.
Was a ghostly line of wagons
movin' someplace far away.
CHORUS
(repeat last line of chorus)
