Lyrics Van Dyke Parks

Van Dyke Parks

Come Along

Come along, come along, come on along

I just may be going your way

And I won't take you no

I gotta giddyup and go

On the road with the show if I may say so

Row to hoe rodeo oh here we go

Where they say the lovelies do play

Maybe sooner or late

That's the time to go straight and to confabulate

Come along

Don't be callin me brother

You too hard on my hide

I gots to get hold of a halter friend

And then I really need a saddle to ride

Gots me indisposition

You who pardon my pride

It seem to me like an imposition friend

If you must really need a saddle to ride

In this spell of the Southern moonlight

And the charm of the women and wine

Might as well just surrender tonight

To remember this wonderful time of your life

You must leave all your worry behind

Don't worry, don't worry, not to worry

As they say - the pleasure is mine

Gonna hit the road Jack

Lazy-lay yourself back

Let's leave Georgia behind for Carolina

Climb aboard, climb aboard, climb on aboard

I'll wake you when it's time to dine

Fella you can feel free to take a vantage on me

I'm a true and trusty, don't worry

You dressed up for the party tonight

Holdin hopin that she would be there

You look smart for the party alright

A delightful and debonaire hare

On a night that is right for some devil-may-care

Come along, come along, come on along

I just may be going your way

Maybe sooner or late

To the gals we go straight

Just to confabulate

Come along
