RO ro ro Rosie

Rosie was a drover on the cattle trail

Rosie was a cowgirl who loved to ride the rails

They say she was the happiest Doggie on the trail

Winkin at the cowboys and waggin that golden tail.

Justa winkin. . anda waggin . .

Justa winkin anda waggin that tail.

Was that Rosie of the Chisholm Trail?

RO ro ro ROSIE

Yes she was galloping cross the deserts wide

Trying to take the horse in stride

Always hanging by my side

RO ro ro RO- Zee!

Cowboy Pokie

My golden gal

Straight hair'd girl with a mystic whorl

Best little doggie in the whole wide world

There goes Rosie on the Chisholm Trail
