Overture - Alfred Newman.mp3

[00:03.97]The promised land
[00:06.65]I'm going, I'm going, going, going to the bountiful,
[00:11.15]Bountiful land!
[00:14.22]Roll, wagons, roll!
[00:17.70]I am bound for the promised land,
[00:21.68]I'm bound for the promised land
[00:25.68]Oh who will come and go with me
[00:29.69]I am bound for the promised land
[00:35.67]It's a land of plenty that never fails where
[00:40.16]trees immortal grow,
[00:43.79]where rocks and hills and brooks and vales
[00:49.24]with milk and honey flow
[00:52.19]milk and honey, milk and honey, milk and honey flow.
[00:59.26]I am bound for the promised land,
[01:03.30]I'm bound for the promised land
[01:07.27]Oh who will come and go with me
[01:12.32]I am bound for the promised land
[01:16.34]Who will come and go with me
[01:18.32]I am bound for the promised land
[01:30.84]Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
[01:37.80]Roll away, you rolling river
[01:46.88]Oh, Shenandoah, I'm sure to leave you
[01:58.05]And away, I'm bound to go, cross the wide Missouri.
[02:26.11]Endless prairie, I wanna leave you
[02:41.50]I'm gonna leave you - goodbye!
[02:45.15]Because I don't aim to die
[02:48.60]Here on the prairie
[02:54.76]Where the wind blows so hard
[02:58.19]That you have to walk sideways
[03:01.91]To keep from flying
[03:06.21]I'm gonna leave this endless prairie
[03:11.00]Or I'm gonna die from trying
[03:41.02]I popped my whip and I bring the blood
[03:44.86]I make those leaders take the mud
[03:48.28]We grab the wheels and we turn 'em round
[03:53.06]One long pull and we're on hard ground
[03:54.85]Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[03:56.79]Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[03:59.84]Tim-a-ridee-oh, tim-a-roon-I-oh
[04:04.28]Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[04:11.05]When I got west, the hills were steep
[04:16.64]T'would make a tender person weep
[04:21.17]To hear me cuss, and pop my whip
[04:28.03]To see my oxen pull and slip
[04:29.88]Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[04:31.82]Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[04:33.90]Tim-a-ridee-oh, tim-a-ridee-oh, tim-a-ridee-oh! Tim-a-roon-I-oh
[04:41.59]Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[04:45.52]When I get home, I'll have revenge
[04:50.78]I'll land my family 'mong my friends
[04:56.15]I'll bid goodbye to the whip and line
[05:03.00]And drive no more in the wintertime
[05:06.71]Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[05:08.61]Tim-a-roe, tim-a-roe, tim-a-ridee-oh
[05:10.60]Tim-a-ridee-oh, tim-a-ridee-oh, a-ridee-ohhhh
[05:17.48]Ohio (the promised land)
[05:19.60]Nebraska (the promised land)
[05:21.76]Wyoming (the promised land)
[05:24.08]Colorado (the promised land)
[05:28.20]The Promised Land!
[05:32.24]I am bound for the promised land,
[05:36.48]I'm bound for the promised land
[05:41.17]Oh who will come and go with me
[05:45.46]I am bound - for the promised land!
[05:51.48]
