Lyrics

  1. Remember the days of the Pony express
    Remember the days of yore
    Oh, the dear shaving mug and the crinoline dress
    And the old fashioned country store
    Remember the little red schoolhouse days
    The Apple, the Crayon, the Slate
    Remember the time of the gas-buggy days
    Shucks, I’d better remember my Freight
  2. Remember the speed of the first Iron horse
    In those good old days of yore
    Oh, the overland transcontinental course
    Ride a week or two or more
    The old covered wagon was some moving van
    Oh, Suzanna was great
    Remember the borax team twenty mule span
    Shucks, I’d better remember my Freight

Chorus
Oh, Roll ’em Trucker! Keep Rollin’ along
Roll ’em Trucker to a rollin’ song
Milk for the Babies, silk for the ladies
Fuel for the furnace, wool for the mill
Beans and potatoes, corn and tomatoes
Roll ’em Trucker! Keep rollin’ along

  1. Once she was patient, an old fashioned miss
    She’d wait for the lover who roamed
    Remember the days when she’d wait for a kiss?
    Or wait for the cows to come home
    For the barn that was robbed, she ordered a latch
    It mattered not if it came late
    Now, the chicken won’t wait for her eggs to hatch
    And no one will wait for the freight
