《The Jim Bridger Story(Album Version)》歌词

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

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

[00:00:10] Yet he deserves the front row seat in History's Hall of Fame

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

[00:00:20] He spoke the language of the Sioux the Black Foot and the Crow

[00:00:27] Let's drink to old Jim Bridger yes lift your glasses high

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

[00:00:37] That he was making history never once occured to him

[00:00:42] But I doubt if we'd been here if it weren't for men like Jim

[00:00:51] He spoke with General Custer and said listen Yellow Hair

[00:00:56] The Sioux are the great nation so treat 'em fair and square

[00:01:01] Sit in on their war councils don't laugh away their pride

[00:01:06] But Custer didn't listen at Little Big Horn Custer died

[00:01:11] Let's drink to old Jim Bridger yes lift your glasses high

[00:01:16] As long as there's the USA don't let his memory die

[00:01:21] That he was making history never once occured to him

[00:01:26] But I doubt if we'd been here if it weren't for men like Jim

[00:01:34] There's poems and there's legends that tell of Carson's fame

[00:01:40] Yet compared to Jim Bridger Kit was civilized and tame

[00:01:45] These words are straight from Carson's lips if you place that story by him

[00:01:50] If there's a man who knows this God forsaken land it's Jim

[00:01:56] Let's drink to old Jim Bridger yes lift your glasses high

[00:02:01] As long as there's the USA don't let his memory die

[00:02:06] That he was making history never once occured to him

[00:02:11] But I doubt if we'd been here if it weren't for men like Jim
