Yo Ho, Yo Ho a Pioneer’s Life for me!
We walk and we ford and we fix wagon wheels,
Drink up me hearties Yo Ho (I mean don’t).
We camp and we sing and use flour for meals,
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
We don’t chew tobacco, don’t drink and don’t swear.
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
Hate Iowa mud but we love mountain air,
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
We’re walking cross country ‘cuz the Church is true.
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
When we can’t find wood, we burn buffalo poo,
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
We’ll push and we’ll pull if we’re stuck in a rut.
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
If we get really hungry we might eat your mutt
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
We like to use oxen, not horses, or mules
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
If we wanna get blessings we’ll follow the rules
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
We’ll walk till we reach the Salt Lake Valley
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
If we pushed on much farther we’d be in Cali
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
The trail can be rough, just like the terrain,
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
When we get to Utah we should build a train
Sing up me hearties Yo Ho!
Yo Ho Yo Ho a Pioneer’s Life for Me!
