It's called "Teaming up the Caribou Road," and it's in the book Songs of the Pacific Northwest, the CD Tribute to Phil Thomas, and at this website: http://www.songsforteaching.com/socialstudies/canada/cariboucaribooroadbritishcolumbia.htm

CARIBOO ROAD

1. Here comes Henry Currie.
He's always in a hurry,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
He makes his horses go
Through the dust and through the snow,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
You should see him sprintin'
To the ball at Clinton,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
He makes the ladies prance,
Just like his horses dance,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road.

CHORUS: When you hear that whip a-poppin'
You can bet he's got a load.
When you hear that sweet voice singing
Stand up rowdy on the Cariboo Road.

2. The driver's on the deck
With a rag around his neck,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road,
While the swamper in the stable,
Makes sure the teams are able,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
When the roads are in a mire,
Then the freighters earn their hire,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road;
But they can beat the weather
When they all pull together,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road. CHORUS

3. In a wink and a shake,
We'll be up in Williams Lake,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road;
And we'll sure be feelin' swell
Once we get to Quesnel,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road.
No more muck, no more dirt,
And I can finally change my shirt.
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road;
And the horses they can rest,
'Cause they've sure done their best,
    Teaming up the Cariboo Road. CHORUS
