Snow Shoe Thompson - Johnny Horton[00:00:00]

In 1855 in old California a man was a looking in the paper one day[00:00:09]

Uncle Sam needs a postman to carry the mail[00:00:16]

Through the High Sierra Mountains over God forsaken trails[00:00:20]

Snow Shoe Thompson told 'em he knew he was their man[00:00:24]

I'll get through them mountains if anybody can[00:00:28]

He took a pair of snowshoes he took a pair of skis[00:00:32]

And led out through that mountains[00:00:35]

Where the normal man would freeze[00:00:37]

He was cautious as a mountain cat fleet as a deer[00:00:40]

Tough as a grizzly bear he knew no fear[00:00:43]

He lived a life of danger bringin' mountain people the news[00:00:48]

Cause Snow Shoe Thompson packed the mail on through[00:00:51]

In the High Sierra Mountains it was 32 below[00:01:03]

Blue blizzard fairly whistled bringin' 40 feet of snow[00:01:07]

No one dared to venture on a slippery mountain trails[00:01:10]

But Snow Shoe kept a comin' he was packin' US mail[00:01:14]

His face was weather beaten from his many rugged miles[00:01:18]

But he knew it was worth it when he'd see the people smile[00:01:22]

His deeds are not forgotten they stay in the Hall of Fame[00:01:26]

They stay in old Squaw Valley to Snow Shoe Thompson's name[00:01:30]

He was cauition as a mountain cat[00:01:34]

She kicked up her heels with out a hint[00:01:37]

Kicked the lantern over and away she went[00:01:41]

The world couldn't help but be amazed[00:01:45]
