The Ballad Of Louis L'Amour

He felt the nights of North Dakota.
Wild old west was cold as ice.
A writer born in the Jamestown backwoods
telling tales near the town of Price.

(chorus)
L'Amour was his name
came from honor
rose to fame
he wrote of the days the west begun
waxing mystic on the gunfights fought, lost and won.

Lewis and Clark
they broke the frontiers
in days horizons knew no end.
L'Amour was not the first to write of them
but he'd take us to the west again.

(chorus)

He read the books of Alfred Dickey
Penned his first at Franklin School.
He was a boxer, seaman, and a skinner,
Chronicled studies of man and land,
and wise and fool.

(chorus)

The Burning Hills, The Sackett Brand,
Ride The Dark Trail, with The Mustang Man.
Mojave Crossing, Last Of The Breed,
Hondo, Shalako.
Poetry.

(chorus)
