[Verse 1] I’m walking down that buffalo trail gonna build a government road Twenty one years I’ve been in jail gonna build a government road Buffalo trails just sticks and stone gonna build a government road It’ll be all paved when I get done build a government road
[Chorus] Build a government road love Build a government road Plowing down my buffalo trail gonna build a government road
[Verse 2] Gonna grab a shovel in my hand build a government road Gonna hire up every man that I can build a government road Tractors plows and engines to build a government road All be working when I get through build a government road
[Chorus] Build a government road love Build a government road Plowing down my buffalo trail gonna build a government road
[Verse 3] What you gonna do when you're income is due build a government road Then we’ll build a railroad to build a government road Who’s it gonna travel down my way build a government road Why brothers and sisters build a government road
[Chorus] Build a government road love Build a government road Plowing down my buffalo trail gonna build a government road
[Verse 4] Where’s this road gonna lead build a government road To a job I’ve worked and a mighty good theme build a government road What we gonna do when we get to the end build a government road Well brother we’ll start right over again and build a government road
[Chorus] Build a government road love Build a government road Plowing down my buffalo trail gonna build a government road
