git along little yearlings - east nash grass lyrics

[verse 1]
the yanks took our corn, the rebs took our cotton
the bank took our land and the tax got our home
we yoked up our oxen and loaded the wagons
with a drove of poor yearlings, we started to roam

[chorus]
git along little yearlings, we’re a*goin’ to texas
don’t stray far away or you can’t hear the bells
git along little yearlings, we’re a*goin’ to texas
stay close to the wagons and all will be well

[verse 2]
’twas in alabama we lost our first wagon
we thanked the good lord we lost only one
in ol’ mississippi we fought the jayhawkers
and in louisiana we buried a son

[chorus]
git along little yearlings, we’re a*goin’ to texas
don’t stray far away or you can’t hear the bells
git along little yearlings, we’re a*goin’ to texas
don’t stray from the wagons and all will be well

[verse 3]
there’s bears in these woods, there’s wolves, there’s indians
there’s quicksandy holes, there’s mountains of stone
last night a poor yearling strayed too far from camp
and this morning we found a bundle of bones
[verse 4]
hooray, hurrah, give a big hallelujah
the journey is ending, we’re very near there
give thanks to the oxen, give praise to jehovah
tonight we’re a*resting beneath the lone star
