paroles de chanson The Pass - Johnny Bond

My wagon train is headin' for the pass
Soon California will be ours at last
So hitch your teams and get them wagons rollin'
Tell 'em all to get them tents a-foldin'
We're headin' for the state they call the Golden
Get rollin' now we're headin' for the pass
Get rollin' now we're headin' for the pass

Oh father oh dear father let's not go
Let's spend the winter here at Fort Reno
The scouts refuse to lead us o'er that mountain
They've all returned you see them there dismountin'
There's danger yonder this we're not discountin'
I fear there's evil waitin' in the pass
I fear there's evil waitin' in the pass

Oh daughter oh dear daughter don't you fear
Old California's mighty mighty near
We'll be there 'fore the snow begins to fallin'
Why can't you hear the gold fields to us callin'
So kindly tell 'em all to quit their stallin'
Get rollin' now we're headin' through the pass
Get rollin' now we're headin' through the pass

3000 Feet of drizzle hit my face
Get movin' now let's make a faster pace
Don't spare the whip just keep them wheels a-turnin'
We've reached the point from which there's no returnin'
Keep them wheels rollin' keep 'em churnin'
Hear that wind a-whistlin' through the pass
Hear that wind a-whistlin' through the pass

6000 Feet the snow began to fall
Let's rest awhile I hear the drivers call
Let's stop awhile and wait for better weather
The teams are tired they're foamin' at the leather
We're safe as long as we all stick together
It won't be long until we're through the pass
It won't be long until we're through the pass

Oh papa oh dear papa look below
The sun is shinin' bright on Fort Reno
But here our wagons with the snows are covered
The pioneers around the fires are hovered
We're lucky if we'll ever be discovered
We'll spend the winter freezin' in the pass
We'll spend the winter freezin' in the pass
