Telegraph road

A long time ago came a man on a track

walking thirty miles with a sack on his back

and he put down his load where he thought it was the best

he made a home in the wilderness

he built a cabin and a winter store

and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore

the other travellers came riding down the track

and they never went further, no and they never went back

then came the churches then came the schools

then came the lawyers then came the rules

then came the train and the trucks with their load

and the dirty old track was the telegraph road.
