though it may be a sad one

Of trials and troubles and where first begun

I left my dear family, my friends,

and my home

To cross the wild mountains

and deserts to roam

We heard of Sioux Indians

all out on the plains

A- killing poor drivers and

burning their trains

A- killing poor drivers with

arrow and bow

When captured by Indians

no mercy they show

When captured by Indians no

We traveled three weeks 'til

we came to the Platte

We pitched out our tents

at the end of the flat

We spread down our blankets on

the green grassy ground

While our horses and oxen were

grazing all around

While our horses and oxen

were grazing all around

While taking refreshment

we heard a low yell

The whoop of Sioux Indians

coming out of the dell

We sprang to our rifles with

a flash in each eye

"Boys," says our brave leader,

"we'll fight 'til we die."

They made a bold dash and

came near to our train

The arrows fell around us like

hail and like rain

We fought them with courage,

we spoke not a word

'Til the end of the battle

was all that was heard

was all that was heard

We shot their bold chief at

the head of the band

He died like a warrior with

a gun in his hand

When they saw their bold chief

lying dead in his gore

They whooped and they yelled

and we saw them no more

They whooped and they yelled

and we saw them no more

We traveled by day,

guarded camp during the night

'Til Oregon's mountains

looked high in their might

Now at Pocahontas beside a clear stream

Our journey is ended in the

land of our dream

Our journey is ended in the land of our dream
