john edmond - the big green wagon lyrics

Loading...

in the year of 1836
when the trek was underway
a trail of covered wagons
crossed the veldt and crossed the way(?)
a widower called willhem ??? was in that company
with pioneers and wagoneers unpopular was he

with his big green wagon
and fifteen rowdy sons
they had a brandy flagon
and they had sixteen guns

at night they’d form a laager
and mount a ??? guard
they’d put the children down to sleep
for they had travelled hard

but willhem and his rowdy sons
would light a fire bright
and sing and dance and drink and prance
until the dawn’s grey light

’round that big green wagon
those fifteen rowdy sons
would drink the brandy flagon
and fire those sixteen guns
one day the leading wagoneer said
willhem do you know
the women disapprove of you
and there fore you must go

turn back and join another group
and find yourself a wife
and teach those fifteen rowdy sons
a better way of life

take your big green wagon
and fifteen rowdy sons
take your brandy flagon
and take your sixteen guns

away the wagon trail went
‘oer across the wild terrain
they were ambushed and attacked
way out there on the plain
and almost overpowered
by spear and assegai

as brave men fell they heard a yell
and herd their women cry

…
here comes that big green wagon
and fifteen rowdy sons
here comes the brandy flagon
and here come sixteen guns

they blessed that big green wagon
and fifteen rowdy sons
they blessed the brandy flagon
and blessed those sixteen guns
