Ox Driver
Was early in October-o,
Hitched my team in order-o
To ride the hills-a Saludio.
To-me-rol, to-me-rol, to-my-ri-de -o.
Chorus:
To-me-rol, to-me-rol, to-my-ri-de-o,
To-me-rol, to-me-rol, to- my-ri-de-o,
To-my-ri-de-ay, to-my-ri-de-o,
To-me-ro, to-me-ro, to-my- ri-de-o.
I pop my whip, I bring the blood,
I make my leaders take the mud,
We grab the wheels,and we turn them around,
One more pull and were on hard ground.
(Chorus)
When I got there the hills were steep,
Would make a tender person weep
To hear me curse and pop my whip,
And see my oxen pull and slip.
(Chorus)
When I get home Ill have revenge,
Ill have my family, Ill have my friends,
Ill say good-bye to the whip and line,
Ill drive no more in the wintertime.
(Chorus)
It was early in October-o,
Hitched my team in order-o
To ride the hills-a Saludio.
To-me-rol, to-me-rol, to-my-ri-de-o.
