Ox Driving Song

[Verse] Crack the whip and bring the blood Make the leaders take the mud We’ve got the wheels and we turn them around One long hard pull and we’re on hard ground [Chorus] To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o To-me-ri-de-o___ to-me-ri-de-o To-me-ro to-me-ro to-me-ri-de-o [Verse] On the fourteenth day of October-o I hitched my team in order-o To try the hills of Saludio To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o [Chorus] To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o To-me-ri-de-o___ to-me-ri-de-o To-me-ro to-me-ro to-me-ri-de-o [Verse] When I got there the hills were steep Would make another person weep To hear me cuss and crack my whip And see the oxen pull and slip [Chorus] To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o To-me-ri-de-o___ to-me-ri-de-o To-me-ro to-me-ro to-me-ri-de-o [Verse] When I get home among my friends That’s where my toil and trouble ends And bid adieu to the whip and line And ride no more in the winter time [Chorus] To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o To-me-ri-de-o___ to-me-ri-de-o To-me-ro to-me-ro to-me-ri-de-o [Chorus] To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o To-me-rol to-me-rol to-me-ri-de-o To-me-ri-de-o________ - yeah!
