Red River Cart Song
Canadian: Author Unknown This song is available on Michael Mitchell's Canada is for Kids: Volume 2. A tale of the pioneers who trekked to Edmonton along the Calgary Trail.
The railhead was in Calgary
Back in those early days And everyone a-going North Had to find a different way There were horses dragging travois They had been there from the start But my father went to Edmonton In a Red River cart Chorus: Rolling along the prairies You great big wooden wheels Stir the dust and fill the air With screeching and with squeals Oh, pitch and sway from side to side The summer day is long And make your way up North Singing a Red River cart song The only road the prairies knew Was called the Calgary trail For horses, mules and oxen And the men who carried mail For families from the East Who came for a new start And my father went to Edmonton In a Red River cart Those families filled the prairies When the land was fresh and new The sky went on forever While the population grew They built cities and farms Those people did their part And my father went to Edmonton In a Red River cart Red River cart, take me to my new home This song is available on Michael Mitchell's Canada is for Kids: Volume 2.
