JASPER
(JOHN DAWSON / DAVID NELSON)
WHAT GOES UP IT MUST COME DOWN, BUT
JAPER’S BEEN UP ON THAT MOUNTAIN
FOR AT LEAST A DOZEN YEARS BY NOW
SAID HE WENT TO GET THE GOLD, BUT
I JUST THINK HE’S GETTING OLD AND
COULD HAVE MADE MORE MONEY WITH A PLOW
WHAT’S OLD JASPER DOING ON THAT MOUNTAIN?
NO ONE EVER FOUND NO GOLD UP THERE
WHAT’S OLD JASPER DOING ON THAT MOUNTAIN?
SOMETIMES WE CAN SEE HIS FIRE FROM HERE
PROSPECTORS HAVE LIVED AND DIED AND
JASPER COULD HAVE PARTLY LIED BUT
HE SAID HE WAS ONCE A MILLIONAIRE
AND HE COULD HAVE COME BACK DOWN
FOR THE THINGS FOLKS GET IN TOWN
BUT OLD JASPER DOESN’T SEEM TO CARE
Appears on Marin County Line
