Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Saga of Andy Burnett (Blackburn,Bruns
Subject: Lyr Add: THE SAGA OF ANDY BURNETT
Oh, and here's the lyrics I have to Andy Burnett, including the verse that JJ remembers. I have a feeling that the song wasn't sung exactly the same in every episode, but I could be wrong about that.

THE SAGA OF ANDY BURNETT

The times are gone that he once knew
Endless woods and the skies so blue
The trails no man had trod before
The wilderness at the cabin door

The urge to know where the rivers flow
The freedom to up and pack and go
Lucky for us a few men yet
Remember the saga of Andy Burnett

Chorus:
Andy laid the trail, he opened up the land
Andy gave America a mighty helpin' hand
Andy's on the move, Andy won't rest
Andy Burnett is a travellin' west

He won some friends and made his place
With mighty men of a mighty race
They took him in to teach him more
Of mountain life and mountain lore

The laws of trails and trappin' streams
The danger is not what danger seems
Lessons to learn and not forget
All part of the saga of Andy Burnett

(Chorus)

The way was long and the desert hot
And many knew fear, but he did not
Danger and dust and honest sweat
All part of the saga of Andy Burnett

(Chorus)
