Chorus:

Am
Oh wagon trains rolling along
they fade from my visions and in time will be gone
I see an eagle in space my people
will follow oh oh a vanishing race

Chorus

Am
An Indian brave rolled along
                     G         Am
one day on a lonely mountain trail
And he gazed below with a heart of
                Em          G    Am
woe where the prairie schooners sail
A vision formed like a mortal storm
in the dust of the wagon train
A vanishing race appeared in space
and he sang his sad refrain

Chorus

Oh wagon trains rolling along
Oh now great spirits on high
please spare them the sorrow
you show to my eye oh oh
Now my blankets are roll and
I ride to the valley of the brave Navajo oh oh

Chorus

And I ride to the valley of the
brave Navajo oh oh
Oh oh a vanishing Navajo oh the
vanishing Navajo
