Colossal Cave

In Southern Arizona, there is an old cave A history, does it have a story to tell More than a hole in a mountain For many a outlaw it was their grave Years before the Indians lived there as well Protected by thorns of the Prickly Pear, that is for certain Bank and train robber, hid their stolen stash there Cool their heel and hide from the law No doubt, that many were shot in the back Out of greed, in their outlaw lair Living by their law Cochise and Geronimo, also left their track "La Posta Quemada", a cattle ranch it later became Where cowboys would ride The mountain was steep and mean, cactus galore "The Burning Post", by the White man;s name The thorns would rip the horse's and cattle's hide And the cave with all it had to store The old steer would go to the top and hide Would stay there for years and never come down To gather them was a cowboy's living Hell For the horse's armor, around his chest would be wet rawhide From he cactus thorns and the steer were found Yes, old Colossal Cave does have a story to tell
