THE ROAD TO COOK'S PEAK (p. 388) If you'll listen a while I'll sing you a song, And as it is short it won't take me long. There are some things of which I will speak Concerning the stage on the road to Cook's Peak. On the road to Cook's Peak,— On the road to Cook's Peak,— Concerning the stage on the road to Cook's Peak. It was in the morning at eight-forty-five, I was hooking up all ready to drive Out where the miners for minerals seek, With two little mules on the road to Cook's Peak— On the road to Cook's Peak,— On the road to Cook's Peak,— With two little mules on the road to Cook's Peak. With my two little mules I jog along And try to cheer them with ditty and song; O'er the wide prairie where coyotes sneak, While driving the stage on the road to Cook's Peak. On the road to Cook's Peak,— On the road to Cook's Peak,— While driving the stage on the road to Cook's Peak. Sometimes I have to haul heavy freight, Then it is I get home very late. In (p. 389) rain or shine, six days in the week, 'Tis the same little mules on the road to Cook's Peak. On the road to Cook's Peak,— On the road to Cook's Peak,— 'Tis the same little mules on the road to Cook's Peak. And when with the driving of stage I am through I will to my two little mules bid adieu. And hope that those creatures, so gentle and meek, Will have a good friend on the road to Cook's Peak. On the road to Cook's Peak,— On the road to Cook's Peak,— Will have a good friend on the road to Cook's Peak. Now all kind friends that travel about, Come take a trip on the Wallis stage route. With a plenty of grit, they never get weak,— Those two little mules on the road to Cook's Peak. On the road to Cook's Peak,— On the road to Cook's Peak,— Those two little mules on the road to Cook's Peak. <div style="break-after:column;"></div>
