Log Ride

Timber growing up the mountain roots in silver and gold soil The Indian Queen Mining Company lines shafts of western red cedar, Westerner views hoodoos Painted Desert traveling to mine’s branch Pony express rushes by galloping, “Wow!” Just to see her. Apple dumpling served hot Western Steakhouse flair Tasty yummy dessert warm sunset shows American west, Stagecoach roars by, gold bars to Wells Fargo Bank Family ranch abundant goods county fair, love distilling best. Prospector explores desert mountain, mineral deposits found North Star Gold Mining Company sends full sparkling mining cars, Western Pacific Railroad Company delivers mine goods and lumber Western honey mesquite greet miners riding railcars with gold bars. Buffalo Gals Timber Company sending logs to mill for work Logging builds, the west grows rustic running the saw hear shrill, Rough cut logs stacked in railcar build a town Using true grit gets her done western hoedown Heaven’s fill.
