Jim Bridger - Johnny Horton[00:00:00]

Written by：Leon Payne[00:00:02]

Once there was a mountain man who couldn't write his name[00:00:05]

Yet he deserves the front row seat[00:00:10]

In history's hall of fame[00:00:12]

He forgot more about the Indians than we will ever know[00:00:15]

He spoke the language of the sioux[00:00:20]

The black foot and the crow[00:00:25]

Let's drink to old Jim Bridger[00:00:27]

Yes lift you'r glasses high[00:00:30]

As long as there's the USA don't let his memory die[00:00:32]

That he was making history[00:00:37]

Never once occurred to him[00:00:40]

But I doubt if we'd been here[00:00:42]

If it weren't for men like Jim[00:00:45]

He spoke with general Custer and said listen yellow hair[00:00:51]

The sioux are the great nation[00:00:56]

So treat 'em fair and square[00:00:58]

Sit in on their war councils[00:01:01]

Don't laugh away their pride[00:01:03]

But custer didn't listen[00:01:06]

At little big horn Custer died[00:01:08]

Let's drink to old Jim Bridger[00:01:10]

Yes lift you'r glasses high[00:01:13]

As long as there's the USA don't let his memory die[00:01:15]

That he was making history[00:01:20]

Never once occurred to him[00:01:23]

But I doubt if we'd been here[00:01:25]

If it weren't for men like Jim[00:01:28]

There's poems and there's legends[00:01:34]

That tell of carson's fame[00:01:36]

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[00:01:46]

If there's a man who knows this God[00:01:49]

Forsaken land it's Jim[00:01:53]

Let's drink to old Jim Bridger[00:01:55]

Yes lift you'r glasses high[00:01:58]

As long as there's the USA don't let his memory die[00:02:00]

That he was making history[00:02:05]

Never once occurred to him[00:02:08]

But I doubt if we'd been here[00:02:10]

If it weren't for men like Jim[00:02:13]
