Lyrics
Say, pal, have you sighted a schooner
Along side of the Santa Fe Trail?
They made it here Monday or sooner
With a water keg tied on the tail.
There was Daddy and Ma on the mule seat,
And somewhere along by the way
Was a towheaded gal on a pinto,
Just a-janglin’ for old Santa Fe.
Yo ho! Yo ho!
Just a-janglin’ for old Santa Fe.
Yo ho! Yo ho!
Just a-janglin’ for old Santa Fe.

I seen her ride down near arroyo
Way back on the Arkansas sands.
She had a smile like an acre of sunflowers
And a quirt in her little brown hand.
She mounted her pinto so wary
She rode like she carried the mail,
And her eyes near set fire to the prairie
Along side of the Santa Fe Trail,
Yo ho! Yo ho!
Along side of the Santa Fe Trail.
Yo ho! Yo ho!
Along side of the Santa Fe Trail.

I know a gal down on the border
That I’d ride to El Paso to sight.
I’m acquainted with the high-flyin’ orders
And I sometimes kiss some gals goodnight.
But, Lord, they’re all ruffles and beadin’
And drink afternoon tea by the pail.
I’m not used to that sort of stampedin’
Along side of the Santa Fe Trail
Yo ho! Yo ho!
Along side of the Santa Fe Trail.
Yo ho! Yo ho!
Along side of the Santa Fe Trail.

Now I don’t know her name on the prairie
Or when you’re huntin’ one gal on the side.
And it’s shorter from Hell to Hilarry
Than it is on that Santa Fe ride.
So I’ll try to make Plummers by sundown,
For a camp can be made in the swale.
Then I’ll come on that gal with her pinto,
She’ll be camped on the Santa Fe Trail.
Yo ho! Yo ho!
She’ll be camped on the Santa Fe Trail.
Yo ho! Yo ho!
She’ll be camped on the Santa Fe Trail.
