Come Along Songtext
von Van Dyke Parks

COME ALONG! COME ALONG! COME ON ALONG!
I just may be goin′ your way
And I won't take yoh no
I gotta giddyup and go
On the road wid de show if I may say so

Row to hoe rodeo Oh here we go
Where they say de lovelies do play
Maybe sooner or late
That′s de time to go straight and to confabulate. COME ALONG!

Don't be callin' me brother. You too hard on my hide
I gots to get hold of a halter friend
And then I really need a saddle to ride
Gots me indisposition. You who pardon my pride
It seem to me like an imposition friend
If you must really need a saddle to ride.


In disspell of the Southern moonlight and thee charm of the women and wine
Might as well just surrender tonight to remember this wonderful time of your life you must leave all your worry behind.

Don′t worry! Don′t worry! Not to worry!
As they say "the pleasure is mine"
Gonna hit de road Jack
Lazy-lay yousef back
Let's leave Gawgia behind for Carolina
Climb aboard! Climb aboard! Climb on aboard!
I′ll wake you when it's time to dine
Fella you can feel free to take a vantage on me
I′m a true and trustee. Don't worry!

You dressed up for de party tonight holdin′ hopin' that she would be there
You look smart for de party alright
A delightful and debonaire hare on a night that is right for some devil-may-care


COME ALONG! COME ALONG! COME ON ALONG!
I just may be goin' your way
Maybe sonner or late
To the gals we go straight
Just to confabulate. COME ALONG!
