LEWIS AND CLARK
©Gary Bowman Westward bound, Voyage of Discovery Like Merriweather Lewis and William Clark, On this, your epic journey There’s a path that others shun, Lonely and forsaken Adventure lies around the bend, On the Road Not Taken Row those boats, Corps of Discovery Rapids, cascades, boulders and chutes, as you go, Up the Wide Missouri Play that fiddle, and sing a song, O ye weary travelers Evening’s respite won’t last long, From those mighty waters Westward bound, Land of the shaggy buffalo O’er the Great Plains, Prairie dogs and pronghorn antelope There’s a path that others shun, Lonely and forsaken Adventure lies around the bend, On the Road Not Taken Homeward bound, O’er mountains, plains and rivers Roll On, Columbia, Ride those churning waters Rushing towards the rising sun, Sea to shining sea Blackfoot, Three Forks, Yellowstone, Down the wide Missouri |
