monty harper - oklahoma land rush, 1889 lyrics

[intro]
fifty thousand boomers are lined up to go
what’s your plan of action when the buglers blow?
getting in quick is the bottom line
this is the oklahoma land rush 1889!

[verse 1]
up in wichita folk’ll explain
you better get a ticket for the santa fe train
they’re packing them cars like sardine cans
gonna ride in on the rail + woo, woo!
to the promised lands!

[chorus]
will you ride the rail? woo, woo!
cause getting in quick that’s the bottom line
this is the oklahoma land rush 1889!
[verse 2]
i heard rumors flying on the wind
darn them sooners + they’s already in!
all staked out before the break of dawn
now they’re hiding in the bushes + shh, shh!
until the race is on!

[chorus]
will you ride in on the rail? woo, woo!
or hide out in the bushes? shh, shh!
just get in quick that’s the bottom line
this is the oklahoma land rush 1889!

[verse 3]
i met a young yankee with a confident air
he spent $300 on a thoroughbred mare
he may be first man to reach his goal
unless he races that horse + giddyup! giddyup!
into a gopher hole!

[chorus]
will you ride in on the rail? woo, woo!
or hide out in the bushes? shh, shh!
will you race in on a racehorse? giddyup! giddyup!
just get in quick that’s the bottom line
this is the oklahoma land rush 1889!
[verse 4]
i heard about a lady who peddled all the way
through the cherokee strip to be here today
when the race takes off she’ll be sweating in the heat
bouncing cross the prairie + boing, boing!
on a bicycle seat!

[chorus]
will you ride in on the rail? woo, woo!
or hide out in the bushes? shh, shh!
will you race in on a racehorse? giddyup! giddyup!
or bounce in on a bicycle? boing, boing!
just get in quick that’s the bottom line
this is the oklahoma land rush 1889!

[verse 5]
i read it in the paper bout an indiana man
with big imagination and a highfalutin plan
if the breeze blows luck this flying buffoon
will float above the crowd + whoosh, whoosh!
in a hot air balloon!

[chorus]
will you ride in on the rail? woo, woo!
or hide out in the bushes? shh, shh!
or race in on a racehorse? giddyup! giddyup!
or bounce in on a bicycle? boing, boing!
will you fly in a balloon? whoosh, whoosh!
just get in quick that’s the bottom line
this is the oklahoma land rush 1889!
[verse 6]
now here’s a young lady says, “i got it made
i got a team of horses i’m hitching to a blade
before the bugle fades i’ll be claiming my place
gonna dig my plow + h’ya, h’ya!
two steps into the race!”

[chorus]
will you ride in on the rail? woo, woo!
or hide out in the bushes? shh, shh!
will you race in on a racehorse? giddyup! giddyup!
or bounce in on a bicycle? boing,boing!
will you fly in a balloon? whoosh, whoosh!
or dig in with your plow? h’ya, h’ya!
just get in quick that’s the bottom line
this is the oklahoma land rush 1889!

oklahoma land rush 1889
fifty thousand boomers are crowding that line
keep your eyes on the prize, your heart set to go
what’s your plan of action when the buglers blow?

[chorus]
will you ride in on the rail? woo, woo!
or hide out in the bushes? shh, shh!
will you race in on a racehorse? giddyup! giddyup!
or bounce in on a bicycle? boing, boing!
will you fly in a balloon? whoosh, whoosh!
or dig in with a plow? h’ya, h’ya!
just get in quick that’s the bottom line
this is the oklahoma land rush 1889
