She Walked Beside The Wagon Lyrics

She felt the cold and dreary wind chill her to the bone
Through the Oklahoma dust before there was a road
Determination on her face and achin' in her feet
With all hope gone she still walked on
into history

She walked beside the wagon
And she held her head up high
If she walked beside the wagon
So can I
So can I

Mama tells the story how she watched it on T.V.
Jackie John and Caroline and a nation on its knees.
Six white horses pulled him home in a wagon painted black.
Jackie walked beside him, no, he's not coming back.

She walked beside the wagon
And she held her head up high
If she walked beside the wagon
So can I
So can I

Jesse's calling from the street "Oh Mommy, please come see"
A Radio Flyer fire red
"Mommy please pull me"
I've been workin' over time for a day like today
Making sure that Jesse knows he can always say

"She walked beside the wagon,
And she held her head up high
If she walked beside the wagon
So can I
So can I"

So can I
So can I
