MULE PACKER'S SONG
Brenn Hill - Red Cliffs Press (BMI)

Verse 1:
With the night comes a chill
A cracklin' fire cannot kill
There's a late spring storm
Bringin' snow before the morn
And you saddle in the rain
To the wind's sad refrain
Tie the diamond and step on
Sing the Mule Packer's song

Chorus 1:
And the creeks are runnin' high
Runnin' off the snowy peaks
And the mountain makes a sigh
Like your lover when she speaks

Verse 2:
There's a Griz close to camp
He's a hungry driftin' tramp
Jack the lever and he's gone
Sing the Mule Packer's song

Chorus 2:
And you're up there all alone
Cept your loyal saddle pards
And you're chiseled like a stone
And the trails are always hard

Final Verse:
Colorado in the fall
You love Wyomin' most of all
Here today and then you're gone
Sing the Mule Packer's song

With the night comes a chill
