Verse 1
(A minor) Oh, (D major) (E major) (A minor) the
first kibbered wagon
that ever did travel
From the (D major) mighty Mississippi
to (A minor) the California gravel
Was loaded with a pair of
Yankee Doodle Heens
Just to (D major) swing that (A minor) (E major) Golden Gate
(A minor) They left St. Louis,
the roosters were a -crowin'
When they (D major) topped the Rocky Mountains
(A minor) the sun was still a -showin'
And the old ox team kept
puffin' and a -blowin'
Till they (D major) reached that (A minor) (E major) Golden Gate (A minor)
The driver of the team
was mighty bad to stutter
And the (D major) Indian chiefs
thought he really was (A minor) a cutter
When he milked a buffalo
and made a big jug of butter
And greased his (E major) wagon and (A minor) ate
The first kibbered wagon
that ever did travel
From the (D major) mighty Mississippi
(E major) to the (A minor) California gravel
Was loaded with a pair of
Yankee Doodle Heens
Just to (D major) swing that (A minor) golden gate
(E major) (A minor) (D major) (E major)
(A minor) (D major) (E major)
(A minor)
Oh, about midnight
when the earth began to quiver
(D major) He took a dose of pills
for he (A minor) thought it was his liver
Then he dreamed of the girls
on the Mississippi River
And he (D major) dreamed of the Golden (E major) Gate (A minor)
The lightning flashed,
the thunder kept a bragging
And the (D minor) old ox team
started push (A minor) ing on the wagon
A wheel came on
and the axle started dragging
In the (D minor) mud (D major) on the (A minor) Golden (E major) Gate (A minor)
The driver of the team
got a mighty clever notion
Jumped (D major) in the water
and he (A minor) made a big commotion
Drove his nails in the bottom of the ocean
And he swung (D major) that Golden (E major) Gate (A minor)
The first giver's wagon
that ever did travel
From the (D major) mighty Mississippi
(E major) to the (A minor) California gravel
Was loaded with a pair of
Yankee Doodle Heens
Just to (D major) swing that Golden Gate
(A minor) (A major)
