The Shifting, Whispering Sands - Rusty Draper[00:00:00]
Written by:Jack/Mary Hadler[00:00:00]
Listen to the age old story of[00:00:01]
The shifting whispering sands[00:00:07]
Yes it always whispers to me[00:00:12]
Of the days of long ago[00:00:16]
When the settlers and the miners[00:00:21]
Fought the crafty Navajo[00:00:26]
How the cattle roamed the valley[00:00:31]
Happy people worked the land[00:00:36]
And now everything is covered[00:00:41]
By the shifting whispering sands[00:00:45]
Oh the miner left his buckboards[00:00:50]
Went to work his claims that day[00:00:55]
And the burros broke their halters[00:01:00]
When they thought he'd gone to stay[00:01:04]
How they found the ancient miner[00:01:10]
Lying dead upon the sand[00:01:15]
After months they could but wonder[00:01:19]
If he died by human hands[00:01:24]
So they dug his grave and laid him[00:01:29]
On his back and crossed his hands[00:01:34]
And his secret still is hidden[00:01:39]
By the shifting whispering sands[00:01:43]
This is what they whispered to me[00:01:49]
Way out on that quiet desert air[00:01:53]
Of the people and the cattle[00:01:59]
And that miner lying there[00:02:04]
If you want to learn his secret[00:02:09]
Wander through this quiet land[00:02:14]
And I'm sure you'll hear the story[00:02:18]
Of the shifting whispering sands[00:02:24]
The shifting whispering sands[00:02:28]
