Jim Bridger - Johnny Horton[00:00:00]
Written by:Leon Payne[00:00:01]
Once there was a mountain man who couldn't write his name[00:00:05]
Yet he deserves the front row seat in history's hall of fame[00:00:09]
He forgot more about the indians than we will ever know[00:00:14]
He spoke the language of the sioux the black foot and the crow[00:00:19]
Let's drink to old jim bridger yes lift your glasses high[00:00:27]
As long as there's the usa don't let his memory die[00:00:32]
That he was making history never once occured to him[00:00:37]
But I doubt if we'd been here if it weren't for men like jim[00:00:42]
He spoke with general custer and said listen yellow hair[00:00:51]
The sioux are the great nation so treat 'em fair and square[00:00:56]
Sit in on their war councils don't laugh away their pride[00:01:01]
But custer didn't listen at little big horn custer died[00:01:06]
Let's drink to old jim bridger yes lift your glasses high[00:01:11]
As long as there's the usa don't let his memory die[00:01:16]
That he was making history never once occured to him[00:01:21]
But I doubt if we'd been here if it weren't for men like jim[00:01:26]
There's poems and there's legends that tell of carson's fame[00:01:34]
Yet compared to jim bridger kit was civilized and tame[00:01:39]
These words are straight from carson's lips[00:01:44]
If you place that story by him[00:01:47]
If there's a man who knows this god forsaken land it's jim[00:01:49]
Let's drink to old jim bridger yes lift your glasses high[00:01:56]
As long as there's the usa don't let his memory die[00:02:01]
That he was making history never once occured to him[00:02:06]
But I doubt if we'd been here if it weren't for men like jim[00:02:11]
