Sons Of The Pioneers

Shades of night are falling
As the wind be-gins to sigh
And the world's silhou-etted a-gainst the sky.

Blue Shadows on the Trail
Blue moon shinin' through the trees.
And a plain--tiff wail--- from the distance
Comes a driftin' on the evening breeze.

Move a-long, Blue Shadows, move a-long
Soon the dawn will come and you'll be on your way

Un-til the darkness sheds its veil
There'll be Blue Shadows on the Trail.

Move a-long, Blue Shadows, move a-long
Soon the dawn will come and you'll be on your way

Un-til the darkness sheds its veil
There'll be Blue Shadows on the Trail.
Shadows on the Trail.

> (Chorus:)
Cigarettes and whusky and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane
Cigarttes and whusky and wild, wild women
They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane.
Once I was happy and had a good wife...
I had enough money to last me for life
I met a gal and we went on a spree...
She started me smokin' and drinkin' whuskey.
(Cho)
Cigareetes are a blight on the whole human race
A man is a monkey with one in his face;
Take warnin' dear friend, take warnin' dear brother
A fire's on one end and a fool's on the t'other.
(Cho)
Now I am feeble and broken with age
The lines on my face make a well-written page
I'm leavin' this message; how sad but how true
On women and whuskey and what they can do.
(Cho)
Write on the cross at the head of my grave
For women and whuskey here lies a poor slave
Take warning dear stranger, take warning dear friend
Then write in big letters these words at the end.
Cigareetes and Whusky and Wild, Wild Women
They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane
Cigareetes and Whusky and Wild, Wild Women
They'll drive you crazy; They'll drive you insane.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

I'm gonna preach you all a sermon
About Old Man Atom, that's me
I don't mean the Adam in the Bible datum
I don't mean the Adam that Mother Eve elated

I mean that thing that science liberated
The thing that Einstein says he's scared of
And when Einstein's scared
Brother, you'd better be scared

If you're scared of the atom, here's what's you gotta do
You gotta gather all the people in the world with you
'Cause if you don't get together and do it
Well, first thing you know I'm gonna blow this world plum too

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

Now life used to be such a simple joy
My cyclotron was just a super toy
And folks got born, they'd work and marry
And "atom" was a word in the dictionary
And then it happened

The science boys, from every clime
They all pitched in with overtime
And before they knew it
The thing was done

And they'd hitched up the power of the Golden Sun
And put a harness on Old Sol
Splittin' atoms
While the diplomats was splittin' hairs

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

But the atom's here in spite of hysteria
Flourishes in Utah as well as Siberia
And whether you're a black, white, red or brown
The question is this, when you boil it down
To be or not to be, that's the question

The answer to it all ain't military datum
Like who gets there firstest with the mostest atoms
No, the people of the world must decide their fate
They gotta get together or disintegrate

I hold this truth to be self-evident
That all men may be cremated equal

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

Yes, it's up to the people
'Cause the atoms don't care
You can't fence me in, I'm just like air
I don't give a hoot about any politics
Or who got what into whichever fix

All I want to do is sit around
And have my nucleus bombarded by neutrons

Now the moral is this, just as plain as day
That Old Man Atom is here to stay
I'm gonna stick around and that's for true
But, ah, my dearly beloved, are you?

So listen folks, here is my thesis
Peace in the world or the world in pieces

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
He saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in ghost riders in the sky
Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in ghost riders in the sky

If I sent a rose to you
For every time you made me blue
You'd have a room full of roses
If I sent a rose of white
For every time I cried all night
You'd have a room full of roses

And if you took the petals
And you tore them all apart
You'd be tearing at the roses
The way you tore my heart

If someday you're feeling blue
And you could send some roses too
Well, I don't want a room full of roses
I just want my arms full of you

If you took the petals
And you tore them all apart
You'd be tearing at the roses
The way you tore my heart

If someday you're feeling blue
And you could send some roses too
I don't want a room full of roses
I just want my arms full of you

You'll never know I cried , when I found out you lied
For Ive been hangin on this teardrops in my heart

My eyes dare not reveal , the way I realy feel
Because I know I'll cry my heart out if I start
Though Im pretending , that I dont care
To be with you my darlin , is my prayer



But way down deep inside , I cant give up my pride
So Ill just keep on hiding teardrops in my heart

See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

I know it when night has gone
That new world's born at dawn

I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart there's a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

I know the night has gone
That new world's born at dawn

I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart there's a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
