[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Roll along, roll along
Roll on little dogies roll on, roll on
Roll along, roll along
Roll on little dogies roll on, roll on

[Verse 2]
The road to that bright happy region
Is a dim narrow trail so they say
But the bad one that leads to perdition
Is posted and blazed all the way

[Verse 3]
They say there will be a great roundup
And cowboys like dogies will stand
To be marched by the riders of judgement
Who are posted and know every brand

[Chorus]
Roll along, roll along
Roll on little dogies roll on, roll on
Roll along, roll along
Roll on little dogies roll on, roll on
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
Roll along, roll along
Roll on little dogies roll on, roll on
Roll along, roll along
Roll on little dogies roll on, roll on
