Lyrics
Hi Jolly, hey jolly
Twenty miles today by golly
Twenty more before the morning light
Hi Jolly, ay
I gotta be on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
Hi Jolly was a camel driver long time ago
Followed Mr. Blaine a-way out west
Didn't mind the burning sand in that God forsaken land
But he didn't mind the pretty gals the best
Hi Jolly, hey jolly
Twenty miles today by golly
Twenty more before the morning light
Hi Jolly, ay
I gotta be on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
They got pretty gals in Albuquerque, least that's what I've heard
Pretty gals in Tucumcari too
Now, honey, I ain't blind, but I don't pay 'em any mind
I'm saving all my lovin' just for you
Hi Jolly, hey jolly
Twenty miles today by golly
Twenty more before the morning light
Hi Jolly, ay
I gotta be on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
Old timers out in Arizona tell you that it's true
You can see Hi Jolly's ghost a-travelin' still
When the desert moon is bright, he comes ridin' through the night
Leading forward twenty camels 'cross the hill
And singing
Hi Jolly, hey jolly
Twenty miles today by golly
Twenty more before the morning light
Hi Jolly, ay
I gotta be on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
And shoutin'
Hi Jolly, hey jolly
Twenty miles today by golly
Twenty more before the morning light
Hi Jolly, ay
I gotta be on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
Hi Jolly, hey jolley, hi
Heeyah!
