  • Some trails are happy ones,
    Others are blue.

    It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
    Here's a happy one for you.

    Happy trails to you,
    Until we meet again.
    Happy trails to you,
    Keep smiling until then.

    Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
    Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.

    Happy trails to you,
    Until we meet again. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Additional Verse from Dallas TexasLast verse not released on original airplay:
    “It started on the day that we met Jesus
    He came into our hearts and then He freed us
    For a life that's true and a happy trail to you”
  • Phil from Knoxville, TennesseeI worked on a television show with Roy Rogers in 1988 and I asked him about this song. He told me that there was an additional verse that had to be dropped when they were recording Happy Trails because it was running too long. He actually sang the verse for me during lunch one day. I've never found a reference to an additional verse, and have often wondered if it might be included in the original version that was published?
  • Jamie from California Willing/Robins wrote the song.
