AmWe're slogging through the mud, through the country of the Blood
CHeaded north aloAmng the whoop up trail,
We're Cslogging through the Emmud, through the Ccountry of the Blood
Headed north along the whoop up trEmail,
AmIf these bulls will pull their load, we'll be thCree weeks on the Amroad
Heading north alCong the whoop up Amtrail.C  Am  
[Verse 2]
CWe're leaving Benton's fAmort, Missouri river port
Plodding north alCong the whoop up tAmrail,
CWe're leaving Benton's fort, Missouri river port
Plodding north along the whoop up Emtrail
With oAmur black snakes popping loud all the way to Fort McLeod
Parading north aClong the whAmoop up trail.
[Interlude]

RColling north along the whoop up tEmrail,
AmThrough weather foul or fine, across the medicine line,
Rolling north alCong the whAmoop up trail.Em  Am  
[Verse 4]
Whacking Cbulls for T C Power haulAming bacon beans and flour

With waAmgon loads of coal for the sCteamboats on the shAmoal
FoAmrt Benton at the eCnd of the Amwhoop up trail.C  Am
