Sounds like James Keelaghan's song "COLD MISSOURI WATERS" on his A RECENT FUTURE CD by Green Linnet (GLCD 2120); that song is about the Mann Gulch fire of 1949, as described in Norman MacLean's book YOUNG MAN AND FIRE.
My name is Dodge, but then you know that; It's written on the chart there at the foot end of the bed They think I'm blind, I can't read it. I've read it every word, And every word it says is death; So, Confession Is that the reason that you came? Get it off my chest before I check out of the game; Since you mention it, well, there's thirteen things I'll name, Thirteen crosses high above the cold Missouri waters.
