《Jim Bridger》歌词

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

[00:00:02] Written by：Leon Payne

[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

[00:00:12] 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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:45] 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:36] 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

[00:01:46] If you place that story by him

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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