C. W. McCall - Niobrara Lyrics
Come ride with me cowboys
I'll tell you a story
Out where the whoopin' cranes fly
I'll show you the white bones
Of giants in sandstone
Come sit by the campfire
I'll sing you a sad song
Of rivers that never return
Play soft on the mouth-harp
Strum slow on the guitar
And leave all the mem'ries to burn
Roll on, Niobrara
Roll on, Niobrara
I'll show you the bright shiny
Ribbon of silver
That flows through the sandhills at dawn
I'll find you the places
Where clear water races
Before all the traces are gone
Roll on, Niobrara
Roll on, Niobrara
Roll on
So pack up the bedroll
And cinch up the saddle
And head for the red mornin' sky
We'll sing one more song for
The wild Niobrara
Out where the wind never dies
Roll on, Niobrara
Roll on, Niobrara
Goodbye

C. W. McCall Niobrara Comments
I actually had to stop listening to some of CW McCall's full albums, because they made me so depressed! To me, that's what an artist should do -- at least if it's a sad song. Again, the orchestration is second-to-none, just like "Mountains On My Mind." But what else do you expect from Chip Davis, who produced his albums? (Chip is also the mastermind behind the "Fresh Aire" and Mannheim Steamroller albums.) I haven't heard this song since about 1984 -- thanks for posting!
glad you enjoyed it!
This is a really great song,When you hear it on a really good audio system you have one guitar in the left speaker and one in the right. Meanwhile in both channels you have a whole orchestra slowly building up in back of them.The song just soars through the great spaces of your imagination and takes you out among the hills and rivers and skies of the West. The lyrics are sentimental with a quiet strength to them. I have the LP and literally wore this track out playing it.It just makes me want to be there.
