Ode to the Bighorn by Jim Carstensen
Ode To The Bighorn
by Jim Carstensen
A veteran bus driver and long time resident of East Vail, Jim wrote this song in honor of the Gore Valley Herd.
Please leave the bighorn sheep alone
For years they've called this hillside home
So many places you could own
That leave these bighorn free to roam
We've seen those movies and old books
That feature outlaws guns and crooks
Or big money mixed with lies
That leave the town folk sad and crying
So here's your chance to right a wrong
Just like some old John Denver song
That praises mountains and the sun
And all the wild things that we love
So leave the bighorn sheep alone
For years they've called this hillside home
So many places you could own
That leave these bighorn free to roam
So many places you could own
That leave these bighorn free to roam
