The Sons Of The Pioneers Tumbling Tumbleweeds Lyrics

See them tumbling down

Pledging their love to the ground!

Lonely, but free, I'll be found

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

Cares of the past are behind

Nowhere to go, but I'll find

Just where the trail will wind

Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds

I know when night has gone

That a new world's born at dawn!

I'll keep rolling along

Deep in my heart is a song

Here on the range I belong

Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

I know when night has gone

That a new world's born at dawn!

I'll keep rolling along

Deep in my heart is a song

Here on the range I belong
