Refrain
When you hear that whip a-poppin'
You bet he's got a load.
When you hear that sweet voice singing
"Stand up rowdy on the Cariboo Road!"
Pete Egan as rule
To his horses he is cruel
Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
He beats them with a rail
And puts fire in their tail
Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
Old Pete he looks so wicked
When you ask him for a ticket
Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
At the sight of half a dollar
He will grab you by the collar
Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
Refrain
The driver's on the deck
With a rag around his neck
Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
While the swamper in the stable
Makes sure the teams are able
Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
When the roads are in a mire
Then the freighters earn their hire
Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
But they can beat the weather
When they all pull together
Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
Refrain
