I'M) HITTIN" THE TRAIL Wilf Carter, (recorded ~ 1935) Key of G
I'm [D7] head-in' up a trail it's mighty [G] windin', [D7] Headin' for the valley far be- [G] low. Get a- [C] long, get along, get along, get along, little [G] do-gy. Get [D7] along, get along, get along, Hi-Dee- [G] Ho.
Old [D7] Pal, his legs are getting' mighty [G] weary. The [D7] weath-er's kinda lookin' like some [G] snow. Get a- [C] long, get along, get along, get along, little [G] do-gy It's [D7] mighty hard to keep you on the [G] go.
YODEL (D7 to G, D7 to G)
I hear the lonely co - yo-tee howl-in' The prair-ie dogs are duckin' for their holes. Get along, get along, get along, get along, little do-gy. Get along, get along, get along, hi-de-ho.
The flam-in' sun is settin' kind of peaceful. The breeze is rustlin' through the purple sage. Birds have ceased their singin', shadows fallin'. I would-n't change my job for any wage.
YODEL
The low-in' of the cattle in the valley. Smok-in' campfire at the break of dawn. I fan-cy I can smell the bacon fryin'. Get along, get along, get along, Roll C-long.
Old cow-belly beans are appetizin' Af-ter weary hours along the trail Roll up in your blanket mighty peaceful Dream you're poundin' dogies down the trail.
