Emmylou Harris Lyrics
"Rose of Cimarron"

(Rusty Young)

Roll along,
Roll on Rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone,
Rose of Cimarron.

Shadows touch the sand
And look to see who's standin'
Waitin' at your window
Watchin' will they ever show.

Can you hear them calling you
Know they have fallen on
Campfires cold and dark
That never see a spark, burn bright.

Roll along,
Roll on Rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone
Rose of Cimarron.

Trails that brought them home
Echo names they've known
Four days high and lonely
Comin' to you only.

You're the one they'd turn to
The only one they knew who'd do
Ell her best to be around
When the chips were down.

Roll along,
Roll on Rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone,
Rose of Cimarron.

--- Instrumental ---

Roll along,
Roll on Rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone,
Rose of Cimarron...
