I'll take my guitar for a ride
Out here where the plains are wide
I know where I'm goin', right or wrong
I'm headed for a spot out there
My pony knows he's headed where
The Rockin' Over River rolls along

Rockin' Over, Rockin' Over
I'm singin' with the river as I ride
Rockin' over, Rockin' Over
Flow ye crystal waters down the mountainside
(Yodel)

The old campfire will soon be gleamin'
Dog and I are there a'dreamin'
Where old Rockin' Over rolls along
Nightset comes and water falls
I just ain't got no cares at all
As long as I can sing my yodelin' song

Rockin' Over, Rockin' Over
I'm singin' with the river as I ride
Rockin' Over, Rockin' Over
Flow ye crystal waters down the mountainside
(Yodel)

Dear old "Rocky" I'm a'comin'
Hear my old guitar a'strummin'
Singing as I'm riding all alone
Never thought I'd see the day
I'd wander quite so far away
From my dear old rocky river home

Rockin' Over, Rockin' Over
I'm singin' with the river as I ride
Rockin' Over, Rockin' Over
Flow ye crystal waters down the mountainside
(Yodel)
