THREE WHEELS ON MY WAGON

three wheels on my wagon
and I'm still rolling along
the cherokees are chasing me
arrows fly right on by
but I'm singing a happy song:
I'm singing a «higgity haggity hoggety» high
pioneers they never say «die»
a mile up the road there's a hidden cave
and we can watch those cherokees go galloping by

[«George, they're catching up to us!»
 - «get back in the wagon woman!»]

two wheels on my wagon
and I'm still rolling along
them cherokees are after me
flaming spears burn my ears
but I'm singing a happy song:
I'm singing a «higgity haggity hoggety» high
pioneers they never say «die»
half a mile up the road there's a hidden cave
and we can watch those cherokees go galloping by

[«Duh Paw? Are you sure this is the right road?»
 -«Will you hush up? You and your maps!»]

one wheel on my wagon
and I'm still rolling along
them cherokees are after me
I'm all in flames at the reins
but I'm singing a happy song:
I'm singing a «higgity haggity hoggety» high
pioneers they never say «die»
right around that turn there's a hidden cave
and we can watch those cherokees go galloping by

[«George? Should I get the bag of beads and trinkets?»
 -«Woman, I know what I'm doing!»]

no wheels on my wagon
so I'm not rolling along
the cherokees captured me
they look mad : things look bad
but I'm singing a happy song:

[«C'mon all you Cherokees, sing along with me!»]
