"A Cowboy's Dream" lyrics - EDDY ARNOLD

Last night as I laid on the prairie
And looked at the stars in the sky
I wondered if ever a cowboy
Would drift to that sweet by and by.

Roll along, roll along,
Roll on little doggies roll on, roll on
Roll along, roll along,
Roll on little doggies roll on, roll on.

The road to that bright happy region
Is a dim narrow trail so they say
But the brought one that leads to protection
Is posted and blazed all the way.

They say there will be a great roundup
And cowboys like doggies will stand
To be marched by the riders of judgement
Who are posted and know every brand.

Roll along, roll along,
Roll on little doggies roll on, roll on
Roll along, roll along,
Roll on little doggies roll on, roll on.

They say he will never forget you
That he knows every action and look
So for safety you'd better get branded
Have your name in the great tally book.

Roll along, roll along,
Roll on little doggies roll on, roll on
Roll along, roll along,
Roll on little doggies roll on, roll on...
