THE ROAD TO COOK'S PEAK
I F you'll listen a while I'll sing you a song, And as it is short it won't take me long. There are some things of which I will speak Concerning the stage on the road to Cook's Peak. On the road to Cook's Peak,— On the road to Cook's Peak,— Concerning the stage on the road to Cook's Peak.
It was in the morning at eight-forty-five,
I was hooking up all ready to drive
Out where the miners for minerals seek,
With two little mules on the road to Cook's Peak —
On the road to Cook's Peak,—<
On the road to Cook's Peak,—
With two little mules on the road to Cook's Peak.
With my two little mules I jog along
And try to cheer them with ditty and song;
O'er the wide prairie where coyotes sneak,
While driving the stage on the road to Cook's Peak.
On the road to Cook's Peak,—
On the road to Cook's Peak,—
While driving the stage on the road to Cook's Peak.
Sometimes I have to haul heavy freight, Then it Is I get home very late.
