Pony Express Monument in Julesburg, Colorado
Julesburg, Colorado
Is a small town way out west
In fact in 1861
They had The Pony Express
I also sang in Sterling
And a prairie town named Wray
Both Kansas and Nebraska
Are not that far away
One Room Schoolhouse outside of Wray, Colorado
In the late 1850′s
On the Julesburg Street called Main
There was a famous visitor
A writer named Mark Twain
Harry and Gary inside Old One Room Schoolhouse
An awful lot of history
In the east part of the State
I saw a one-room schoolhouse
With blackboards made of slate
I surely loved the cornfields
Soon to feel the plows
Some mighty friendly people
And the grazing herds of cows
I slept in a home where the buffalo roam
And the deer and the antelope play
With Gary and Gayle my real good friends
Is where I got to stay
I love the South Platte River
Where the vista never ends
I love the open spaces
But most of all my friends
Old Movie Theater in Julesburg, Colorado
So here’s to Beecher Island
A famous battleground
To Eastern Colorado
Where history does abound
