New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Jasper lyrics

Dawson-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 Chorus 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 When 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 [chorus] [chorus] Sometimes we can can see his fire from here
