Niobrara Lyrics

Come ride with me cowboys 
I'll tell you a story 
Out where the whoopin' cranes fly 
I'll show you the white bones 
Of giants in sandstone 
Out where the wind never dies  
 
 
Come sit by the campfire 
I'll sing you a sad song 
Of rivers that never return 
Play soft on the mouth-harp 
Strum slow on the guitar 
And leave all the mem'ries to burn  
 
[Chorus] 
Roll on, Niobrara 
Roll on, Niobrara 
Roll on  
 
I'll show you the bright shiny 
Ribbon of silver 
That flows through the sandhills at dawn 
I'll find you the places 
Where clear water races 
Before all the traces are gone  
 
[Chorus] 
Roll on, Niobrara 
Roll on, Niobrara 
Roll on  
 
So pack up the bedroll 
And cinch up the saddle 
And head for the red mornin' sky 
We'll sing one more song for 
The wild Niobrara 
Out where the wind never dies  
 
[Chorus] 
Roll on, Niobrara 
Roll on, Niobrara 
Goodbye
