Jones 08/27/2009) (song#5989) When conestogas left St Louis For the prairie trails at crack of dawn Oregon or bust was their marquee On dusty travels so far from home Rolling along in the pale moonlight And when the hot sun was burning down Deep ruts in the ground still show their fight Right through any western ghostly town Oh, the western sun burned their blurred eyes And vulture birds circled where they died Now is heard mostly the wind for sound Right through any western ghostly town (instrumental) Oh, there was dancing, there was singing Romance and saloon doors there swinging There was love that never knew regret Quite a few that time would soon forget Oh, the western sun burned their blurred eyes And vulture birds circled where they died Now is heard mostly the wind for sound Right through any western ghostly town Now is heard mostly the wind for sound Right through any western ghostly town Following My Losing You (Larry W. Jones 08/27/2009) (song#5990) I followed all the rules of love Yes, I followed them all through But all those things are done and through Following my losing you My heart is one big heartache And I can't shake this feeling blue There's a hollow ring in my heart Following my losing you I go to the same old places And see old faces that we knew I always hope I get a glimpse of you Without someone new But every time you come in view I can't help from feeling blue There's a hollow ring in my heart Following my losing you (instrumental) There's no way I could have seen That a new love would come between Your vows sounded so true to me But they wern't meant to be And now I'm down and out, it's true Following my losing you There's a hollow ring in my heart Following my losing you I followed all the rules of love Yes, I followed them all through But all those things are done and through Following my losing you Serenading Hills (Larry W.
