To travel on The Road, A lookin' for old Snodgrass,

McShane and Mark M. Coad.

He'll find them sittin' in the game

In good old fashioned style, And, maybe, lookin' on, he'll find

His neighbor, Milton Byal. There's Tusler, and~Sam Fowler,

And Laing, who lived upon The "Lorren's Fork" a plavin'

With old Doc Middletom

It sure is quite an outfit

Of saddle boys that goes. Jim Brantner, of White river,

And little Tim Montrose. And they have caught Lew Saunders

A trailin' o'er The Hills : And Grangers of the Frontier --

There's Dad, A. W. Mills.

Raymond, Rayburn, Thornton,

Ashford -- ■ pioneers Are plowin' up the turf There

As here, in early years. But that won't make them worry

They won't have long to wait, 'Til someone after that Long Ride

Will say, "Let's irrigate."

There's H. M. Springer -- drivin' fast •

Along the Dusty Trail There's P. J. Yoder leavin'

The Bear creek -- Fox Creek Vale. And Colin Hunter from Horse creek --

He crossed the Cheyenne Plain Where Gordon had gone on before,

Along with Doc. Tremaine.

Sam Lawyer -- arms a flappin'

And floppin' like a sail Went foggin' and a fannin' up

The Dim and Dusty Trail I faintly hear an anvil,

And ringin' blacksmith tools : I wonder if Jack Hilton's there

A shoein' Spanish mules.

Bronson left the Deadman's\ creek

A "Ghost" upon the Wind. Doc Graham went from Agate

A followin' close behind. Bill Kelly went from Pumpkin creek
