[00:05.328]Once there was a mountain man who couldn't write his name
[00:09.978]Yet he deserves the front row seat in History's Hall of Fame
[00:14.862]He forgot more about the Indians than we will ever know
[00:19.864]He spoke the language of the Sioux, the Black Foot and the Crow
[00:27.682](Let's drink to old Jim Bridger, yes lift your glasses high)
[00:32.447]As long as there's the USA don't let his memory die
[00:37.605](That he was making history never once occurred to him)
[00:42.379]But I doubt if we'd been here if it weren't for men like Jim
[00:51.385]He spoke with General Custer and said listen Yellow Hair
[00:56.268]The Sioux are the great nation so treat 'em fair and square
[01:01.297]Sit in on their war councils, don't laugh away their pride
[01:06.171]But Custer didn't listen at Little Big Horn Custer died
[01:11.550](Let's drink to old Jim Bridger, yes lift your glasses high)
[01:16.206]As long as there's the USA don't let his memory die
[01:21.110](That he was making history never once occurred to him)
[01:26.180]But I doubt if we'd been here if it weren't for men like Jim
[01:34.916]There's poems and there's legends that tell of Carson's fame
[01:39.835]Yet compared to Jim Bridger, Kit was civilized and tame
[01:44.866]These words are straight from Carson's lips if you place that story by him
[01:49.851]If there's a man who knows this God forsaken land it's Jim
[01:56.804](Let's drink to old Jim Bridger, yes lift your glasses high)
[02:01.732]As long as there's the USA don't let his memory die
[02:06.719](That he was making history never once occurred to him)
[02:11.570]But I doubt if we'd been here if it weren't for men like Jim
