[Verse]
DDaddy brought home a photograph
from the pGaper yesterdDay.
DIt showed a line of wagons
Movin' sGomeplace far aAway.
GThat picture made my Daddy smile
And it mDade my MoAmma cBmry.
GSeems like Daddy's wagonload of dreams
have long since passed her Aby.
[Chorus]
GAnd the dreams that make a sparrow fly
can mDake an eagle fall.
GOne that makes a rich man money
DAin't no dream at aAll.
GIt's a crying shame to wake up 
Just to find its aDll been brAoke in tBmwo.
GCareful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come tDrue.
2.  Well, he talked on all through suppertime 
'bout a good prospector's life.
Couldn't see Momma didn't want to be   
No good prospector's wife.
He said we best sell out and go 
before the weather turns too cold.
Maybe buy ourselves an extry horse
to carry all that gold.
[Chorus]
GAnd the dreams that make a sparrow fly
can mDake an eagle fall.
GOne that makes a rich man money
DAin't no dream at aAll.
GIt's a crying shame to wake up 
Just to find its aDll been brAoke in tBmwo.
GCareful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come tDrue.
3.  Well, I got up as soon as the first light came 
to start the mornin' fire.
Wonderin' if my Momma's will 
Cooled that man's desire.
And inside the stove upon the coals
An ashen paper lay.
Was a ghostly line of wagons 
movin' someplace far away.
[Chorus]
GAnd the dreams that make a sparrow fly
can mDake an eagle fall.
GOne that makes a rich man money
DAin't no dream at aAll.
GIt's a crying shame to wake up 
Just to find its aDll been brAoke in tBmwo.
GCareful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come tDrue.

[Verse]

Daddy brought home a photograph

G D

from the paper yesterday.

It showed a line of wagons

G A

Movin' someplace far away.

That picture made my Daddy smile

D A Bm

And it made my Momma cry.

Seems like Daddy's wagonload of dreams

have long since passed her by.

[Chorus]

And the dreams that make a sparrow fly

can make an eagle fall.

One that makes a rich man money

D A

Ain't no dream at all.

It's a crying shame to wake up

D A Bm

Just to find its all been broke in two.

G D

Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.

2. Well, he talked on all through suppertime

'bout a good prospector's life.

Couldn't see Momma didn't want to be

No good prospector's wife.

He said we best sell out and go

before the weather turns too cold.

Maybe buy ourselves an extry horse

to carry all that gold.

[Chorus]

And the dreams that make a sparrow fly

can make an eagle fall.

One that makes a rich man money

D A

Ain't no dream at all.

It's a crying shame to wake up

D A Bm

Just to find its all been broke in two.

G D

Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.

3. Well, I got up as soon as the first light came

to start the mornin' fire.

Wonderin' if my Momma's will

Cooled that man's desire.

And inside the stove upon the coals

An ashen paper lay.

Was a ghostly line of wagons

movin' someplace far away.

[Chorus]

And the dreams that make a sparrow fly

can make an eagle fall.

One that makes a rich man money

D A

Ain't no dream at all.

It's a crying shame to wake up

D A Bm

Just to find its all been broke in two.

G D

Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.
