The Road To Cook's Peak ~ Lyrics
If 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.
In rain or shine, six days in the week,
'Tis the same little mules on the road to Cook's Peak.
On the road to Cook's Peak,--
On the road to Cook's Peak,--
'Tis the same little mules on the road to Cook's Peak.
And when with the driving of stage I am through
I will to my two little mules bid adieu.
And hope that those creatures, so gentle and meek,
Will have a good friend on the road to Cook's Peak.
On the road to Cook's Peak,--
On the road to Cook's Peak,--
Will have a good friend on the road to Cook's Peak.
Now all kind friends that travel about,
Come take a trip on the Wallis stage route.
With a plenty of grit, they never get weak,--
Those two little mules on the road to Cook's Peak.
On the road to Cook's Peak,--
On the road to Cook's Peak,--
Those two little mules on the road to Cook's Peak.
