Verse 1
though it may be a sad one
Of trials and troubles and where first begun
I left my dear family, my friends,
and my home
To cross the wild mountains
and deserts to roam
To cross the wild mountains
Verse 2
and deserts to roam
Bm
We heard of Sioux Indians
all out on the plains
A- killing poor drivers and
burning their trains
A- killing poor drivers with
arrow and bow
When captured by Indians
no mercy they show
When captured by Indians no
Verse 3
mercy they show
Bm
We traveled three weeks 'til
we came to the Platte
We pitched out our tents
at the end of the flat
We spread down our blankets on
the green grassy ground
While our horses and oxen were
grazing all around
While our horses and oxen
were grazing all around
Verse 4
Bm
While taking refreshment
we heard a low yell
The whoop of Sioux Indians
coming out of the dell
We sprang to our rifles with
a flash in each eye
"Boys," says our brave leader,
"we'll fight 'til we die."
"Boys," says our brave leader,
Verse 5
"we'll fight 'til we die."
Bm
They made a bold dash and
came near to our train
The arrows fell around us like
hail and like rain
We fought them with courage,
we spoke not a word
'Til the end of the battle
was all that was heard
'Til the end of the battle
was all that was heard
Verse 6
Bm
We shot their bold chief at
the head of the band
He died like a warrior with
a gun in his hand
When they saw their bold chief
lying dead in his gore
They whooped and they yelled
and we saw them no more
They whooped and they yelled
Verse 7
and we saw them no more
Bm
We traveled by day,
guarded camp during the night
'Til Oregon's mountains
looked high in their might
Now at Pocahontas beside a clear stream
Our journey is ended in the
land of our dream
Our journey is ended in the land of our dream
