WRANGLER'S ROOST
>From the film "Wrangler's Roost" (1941)
(Roger Lohrman / Ekko Whelan)


John "Dusty" King (Film Soundtrack) - 1941


There's a rodeo in Heaven just for cowboys
There's a wrangler's roost away up there on high
All our pals of long ago are up there now, boys
Restin' easy on the clover in the sky

It's a happy rodeo where good cowhands wanta go
We'll be happy way up yonder by and by
There's a rodeo in Heaven just for cowhands
It's a wrangler's roost away up there on high

No more blizzards, no more famines
No more forty-fours a-jammin'
Only happiness beyond that pearly gate
When He hollers, answer "Comin'"
Start a-runnin', go a-hummin'
You don't have to worry now as to your fate

There's a rodeo in Heaven just for cowboys
We'll be happy way up yonder by and by
All our pals of long ago are up there now, boys
It's a wrangler's roost away up there on high
