Cyril Rawson - She Walked Beside the Wagon lyrics

[Verse 1: Lorrie:] She felt the cold and the prairie wind chill her to the bone Through the Oklahoma dust, before there was a road Determination on her face and aching in her feet With all hope gone, she still walked on into history [Chorus: Lorrie:] She walked beside the wagon And she held her head up high If she walked beside the wagon So can I, so can I [Verse 2: Lorrie:] Mama tells the story, how she watched it on TV Jackie, John and Caroline and a nation on it's knees Six white horses pulled him home in a wagon painted black Jackie walked beside him though he's not coming back [Chorus: Lorrie:] She walked beside the wagon And she held her head up high If she walked beside the wagon So can I, so can I [Verse 3: Lorrie:] Jesse's calling from the street, 'Oh Mommy, please come and see' A Radio Flyer, fire red, 'Mommy please pull me' I've been working overtime for a day just like today Making sure that Jesse knows he can always say [Chorus: Jesse Keith Whitley] "She walked beside the wagon And she held her head up high If she walked beside the wagon So can I, so can I" [Tag: Both] So can I, so can I
