1

[Am]Pop my whip and I bring the blood

I[G]make the leaders take the mud;

We grab the[Am]wheels and we turn them around

One[G]long, long pull and we're[Am]on hard ground.

Chorus

To me[Am]rol, to me rol, to my rideo

To me[G]rol, to me rol, to my rideo

To my ride-[Am]o, to my rudeo

To me[G]rol, to me rol, to my[Am]rideo

2

On the[Am]fourteenth day of October-o

I[G]hitched my team in order-o

To drive the[Am]hills of Saludio

To me[G]rol, to me rol, to my[Am]rideo

3

When[Am]I got there the hills were steep,

'Twould[G]make any tender-hearted person weep

To hear me[Am]cuss and pop my whip

And[G]see my oxen[Am]pull and slip.

4

When I[Am]get home I'll have revenge,

I'll[G]land my family among my friends.

I'll bid ad-[Am]ieu to the whip and line

And[G]drive no more in the[Am]wintertime.
