Lyrics

Henry Caldwell took his family west in the spring of fifty-four
Packed all their belongings and closed the cabin door
A new land was calling, a farm with richer soil
They'd have a better life in Oregon, with less backbreaking toil
They had to leave behind their family and little Annie's dog
Who cried to them as they drove away down that lonely road
They were looking for ther new home two thousand miles away
When they climbed into their wagon that spring day
Annie's mother didn't want to go and leave all her friends behind
She already had three children and another was on her mind
But Henry's heart was dead set on making a better life
She had to do her duty by him as his faithful loving wife
They had to leave behind their family and little Annie's dog
Who cried to them as they drove away down that lonely road
They were looking for their new home two thousand miles away
When they climbed into their wagon that spring day
Along the trail Annie's heart was broke so many people died
Couldn't save her little brother no matter how they tried
They made twenty miles every single day,
until her horse went lame
Had to be across the mountains before the winter came
They had to leave behind their family and little Annie's dog
Who cried to them as they drove away, down that lonely road
They were looking for their new home two thousand miles away
When they climbed into their wagon that spring day
