Lyrics and Chords


[Music Man]

Oho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin' down the street
Oh please let it be for me
Oho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin' down the street
I wish, I wish I knew what it could be 

/ G - - - / D7 - G - / :

I got a box of maple sugar on my birthday 
In March I got a gray mackinaw 
And once I got some grapefruit from Tampa 
Montgomery Ward sent me a bathtub and a crosscut saw 

/ Am - G - / / / A7 - D7 - /

Oho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin' now
Is it a prepaid surprise or C.O.D.?
It could be curtains or dishes or a double boiler
Or it could be, yes it could be, yes you're right, it surely could be
Somethin' special, somethin' very, very special now
Just for me

/ G - - - / D7 - G - / - Bm Dm6 E7 / A7 - - - / 
   / D7 - - - / G - - - /

Oho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin' down the street
Oh don't let him pass my door
Oho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin' down the street
I wish I knew what he was comin' for 

I got some salmon from Seattle last September 
And I expect a new rockin' chair 
I hope I get my raisins from Fresno 
The D.A.R. have sent a cannon for the courthouse square 

Oho, the Wellth Fargo Wagon ith a-comin' now
I don't know how I can ever wait to thee
It could be thumthin' for thomeone who ith no relathion
But it could be thumethin' thpecial jutht for me 

Oho, you Wells Fargo Wagon, keep a comin'
Oho, you Wells Fargo Wagon, keep a comin'
Oho, you Wells Fargo Wagon, don't you dare to make
A stop until you stop for me

/ G - - - / D7 - - - / G - C - / G - D7 - G - - - /
