Three wheels on my wagon,
And I’m still rolling along.
The Cherokees are chasing me,
Arrows fly, right on by,
But I’m singing a happy song.
I’m singing, “A higgity, haggity, hoggety, high,
Pioneers, they never say die.
Half a mile up the road there’s a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by.”
SPOKEN: “George, they’re catching up to us!”
“Get back in the wagon woman!”
Two wheels on my wagon,
And I’m still rolling along.
Them [Those] Cherokees are after me,
Flaming spears, burn my ears,
But I’m singing a happy song.
I’m singing “A higgity, haggity hoggety, high,
Pioneers, they never say die.
Half a mile up the road there’s a hidden cave,
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by.”
SPOKEN: “Duh, Paw? Are you sure this is the right road?”
“Will you hush up? You and your maps!”
One wheel on my wagon,
And I’m still rolling along.
Them [Those] Cherokees after me
I’m all in flames, at the reins,
But I’m singing a happy song.
I’m singing “A higgity, haggity hoggety, high,
Pioneers, they never say die.
Right around that turn there’s a hidden cave
And we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by.”
SPOKEN: “George? Should I get the bag of beads and trinkets?”
“Woman, I know what I’m doing!”
No wheel on my wagon,
So I’m not rolling along.
The Cherokees captured me,
They look mad, things look bad,
But I’m singing a happy song.
SPOKEN: “C’mon all you Cherokees sing along with me!”
Higgity, haggity hoggety, high
Pioneers, they never say die…”
