1
[Am]Pop my whip and I bring the blood
I[G]make the leaders take the mud;
We grab the[Am]wheels and we turn them around
One[G]long, long pull and we're[Am]on hard ground.
Chorus
To me[Am]rol, to me rol, to my rideo
To me[G]rol, to me rol, to my rideo
To my ride-[Am]o, to my rudeo
To me[G]rol, to me rol, to my[Am]rideo
2
On the[Am]fourteenth day of October-o
I[G]hitched my team in order-o
To drive the[Am]hills of Saludio
To me[G]rol, to me rol, to my[Am]rideo
3
When[Am]I got there the hills were steep,
'Twould[G]make any tender-hearted person weep
To hear me[Am]cuss and pop my whip
And[G]see my oxen[Am]pull and slip.
4
When I[Am]get home I'll have revenge,
I'll[G]land my family among my friends.
I'll bid ad-[Am]ieu to the whip and line
And[G]drive no more in the[Am]wintertime.
