Snow Shoe Thompson

Go man go, gotta get on through the snow
Mush man mush, gotta get on through the slush
Go man go, means mush in Eskimo
So mush man mush man mush man go!
Snow Shoe Thompson used to carry the mail
Through wind n' thunder, snow and hail
He had no dogs and he had no sled
But one thought drove him straight ahead
Go man go, gotta get on through the snow
Mush man mush, gotta get on through the slush
Go man go, means mush in Eskimo
So mush man mush man mush man go!
When the roads was blocked and the lines was down
And the birds were a' walkin' on the ground
And the snow was drifted tree-top tall
And no one knew who could get through it all
Go man go, gotta get on through the snow
Mush man mush, gotta get on through the slush
Go man go, means mush in Eskimo
So mush man mush man mush man go!

Sweethearts, mothers and the post office crowd said
"Look up yonder!" and they yelled out loud
Why here comes someone down the trail
It's Snow Shoe Thompson with the U.S. mail
Go man go, gotta get on through the snow
Mush man mush, gotta get on through the slush
Go man go, means mush in Eskimo
So mush man mush man mush man go!
So remember now when your days is grim
When the drifts is high and your hopes is slim
And you don't seem how you're gonna get through
Snow Shoe made it and so can you!
Go man go, gotta get on through the snow
Mush man mush, gotta get on through the slush
Go, go! means mush in Eskimo
So mush man mush man mush man go!
