Font:      
Align:    
  • In 1855 in old California a man was a looking in the paper one day
  • Uncle Sam needs a postman to carry the mail
  • Through the High Sierra Mountains over God forsaken trails
  • Snow Shoe Thompson told 'em he knew he was their man
  • I'll get through them mountains if anybody can
  • He took a pair of snowshoes he took a pair of skis
  • And led out through that mountains where the normal man would freeze
  • He was cautious as a mountain cat fleet as a deer
  • Tough as a grizzly bear he knew no fear
  • He lived a life of danger bringin' mountain people the news
  • Cause Snow Shoe Thompson packed the mail on through
  • [ banjo ]
  • In the High Sierra Mountains it was 32 below
  • Blue blizzard fairly whistled bringin' 40 feet of snow
  • No one dared to venture on a slippery mountain trails
  • But Snow Shoe kept a comin' he was packin' US mail
  • His face was weather beaten from his many rugged miles
  • But he knew it was worth it when he'd see the people smile
  • His deeds are not forgotten they stay in the Hall of Fame
  • They stay in old Squaw Valley to Snow Shoe Thompson's name
  • He was cauition as a mountain cat...
