"Wait for the Wagon" is an American folk song, first popularized in the early 1850s.

"Wait for the Wagon" was first published as a parlor song in New Orleans, Louisiana, with an 1850 copyright, and music attributed to Wiesenthal and the lyrics to "a lady". All subsequent versions seem to derive from this song.

Bing Crosby included the song in a medley on his album 101 Gang Songs (1961)
