Rocky Mountain Rangers

Unfit was I for the Scarlett Mounties, Dandy dude townies, Drunkard down and outies But I knowed some boys that I once called family  Mounted high in the year of 85 Major Stewart went down and he left his cows  Back in Fort McLeod When the news circled round That the Métis had enough  And there's rustlers on the prowl And Assiniboia needs us boys  To straighten her out Rocky Mountain Rangers Riding o'er the plains sir Of all the western Calvalry There's none any stranger  Rocky Mountain Rangers Well equipped for danger Mounted high in the year of 85 One evenings patrol on cypress hills  We drank up our fill  And the hour was still  When a Winchester shot  Like the ringing of a bell  Some boys of Gabriel Dumont's are shooting us to hell  So it's raise up your six-guns  Lest we be undone Rake some fur, slack them reins  Let your ponies run, run How I survived I may never understand son  Wooly times in the year of 85 Rocky Mountain Rangers Riding o'er the plains sir Of all the western Calvalry There's none any stranger  Rocky Mountain Rangers Well equipped for danger Mounted high in the year of 85 Disbanded in the year of 85 --- Rocky Mountain Rangers - Colter Wall
