The Expressman

from The Frontier Three by EJ O'Reilly

/

about

Taking inspiration from the book "The Expressmen' (Old West Time-Life Series).

lyrics

On the loneliest trail,
A horseman goes along,
Head high, heels down low
Steadfast in the saddle,
Slow hands on the reins,
Across them western plains

He has gone from Cold Springs
Towards the Sand Spring's pass:
The Expressman is the life blood of the West

Sierra Nevada is fraught
With danger and despair,
Split by a man and nature
How the Spirit it drives a breeze
And with God but the devil on his heels.

He has gone from Cold Springs,
Towards the Sand Spring’s pass:
The Expressman is the life blood of the West
Pray God above, guide his path.

The dust and the heavens
Cut by a fine bay mare
As he rides through the cold night air

Natives along the trail,
A wolf away in the distance
Calling his pack
A colt .44 to protect him
St. Joesph Missouri, now, a long way back

He has gone from Cold Springs
Towards the Sand Spring’s pass:
The Expressman is the life blood of the West
