《Jim Bridger》歌词

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

[00:00:01] Written by：Leon Payne

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

[00:00:09] Yet he deserves the front row seat in history's hall of fame

[00:00:14] He forgot more about the indians than we will ever know

[00:00:19] 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

[00:01:39] Yet compared to jim bridger kit was civilized and tame

[00:01:44] These words are straight from carson's lips

[00:01:47] If you place that story by him

[00:01:49] 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
