Johnny Horton - Jim Bridger Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Once there was a mountain man who couldn't write his name
  • Yet he deserves the front row seat in History's Hall of Fame
  • He forgot more about the Indians than we will ever know
  • He spoke the language of the Sioux the Black Foot and the Crow
  • (Let's drink to old Jim Bridger yes lift your glasses high)
  • As long as there's the USA don't let his memory die
  • (That he was making history never once occured to him)
  • But I doubt if we'd been here if it weren't for men like Jim
  • [ ac.guitar ]
  • He spoke with General Custer and said listen Yellow Hair
  • The Sioux are the great nation so treat 'em fair and square
  • Sit in on their war councils, don't laugh away their pride
  • But Custer didn't listen at Little Big Horn Custer died
  • (Let's drink to old Jim Bridger...
  • There's poems and there's legends that tell of Carson's fame
  • Yet compared to Jim Bridger Kit was civilized and tame
  • These words are straight from Carson's lips if you place that story by him
  • If there's a man who knows this God forsaken land it's Jim
  • (Let's drink to old Jim Bridger...
