《Snow Shoe Thompson》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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