Chisholm Trail Farewell
Cattle are being branded for the Chisholm Trail
And before tomorrow’s dawn we’ll be divided
Tonight a murmur on the wind will tell the tale
Of the real love between us God has provided
Reflections will return of our tender parting
The sweet charm of our living together as one
And of the warm memories that time is carving
In moonlight on the trail until the drive is done
Then we will ride the wide prairie once more
Then we will saddle for wind in our hair
Then we will waltz once more across the floor
With our own song of love forever there
(Instrumental)
Now under the moon the Chisholm Trail is sleeping
Up in the heavens a million stars brightly shine
They wait for the dawn and for a young bride’s weeping
As a cowboy tries to sleep then leaves her behind
Reflections will return of their tender parting
The sweet charm of their living together as one
And of the warm memories that time is carving
In moonlight on the trail until the drive is done
Then they will ride the wide prairie once more
Then they will saddle for wind in their hair
Then they will waltz once more across the floor
With their own song of love forever there
