Red Simpson

Roll Truck Roll

I'm going down to Feather River Canyon gotta go down

Donner Summit is closed

Another eighty miles and I sure am lonesome cause I'll

be late gettin' home

Roll truck roll take me to my baby I'm tired of bein'

alone

Roll truck roll I wanna see my baby roll truck roll me

on home

One of these days I'm gonna quit this old road when

I've saved enough money

Gonna buy me a place back home and live a little just

me and my kids and my honey

Mama said little Danny's not doing too good in school

Said he keeps talkin' about his daddy that he hardly

knows

Teacher said that he just sits at his desk and draws

the pictures of trucks

I guess I know what that means and what it shows

Why I'm not home three months out of the year

And here lately it's showing on me too

I saw a lot of country at first and I really like it

then

But anymore there's just none of it new

Oh what a long old haul this has been

I've had rain most of the way and now it's beginning to

pour

It sure looks cold that wind blowin' up through that

canyon

But I gotta keep my spirits up so I guess I'll sing a

little more

I'm going down to Feather River Canyon...

Roll truck roll me on home
