Hi Jolly Composer(s): Randy Sparks Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels; and various other artists
Hi Jolly was a camel driver, long time ago He followed Mr. Beale way out west Didn't mind the burning sand in that God-forsaken land But he didn't mind the pretty gals the best
Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly Twenty more before the morning light Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
There's pretty girls in Albuquerque, 'least that's what I've heard There's pretty gals in Tumcumcari too Now honey, I ain't blind, but I don't pay them any mind 'Cause I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you
Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly Twenty more before the morning light Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
Old timers down in Arizona tell you that it's true That you can see Hi Jolly's ghost a-ridin' still When the desert moon is bright, he comes ridin' into sight Drivin' four and twenty camels over the hill
Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly Twenty more before the mornin' light Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
