Celebrating The Pioneer

Pioneers were such treasures They certainly paved the way Many diverse kinds of folks But were different back in the day Some had strong and firm directions And others just moseyed along Took the day as it came to them Whistling a cowboy song But the farmers worked so hard Out in the broken fields Plantin’ their crops night and day Prayin’ they’d have a good yield Dusty and dirty every single day Walking behind that old plow They sure spent plenty of time Wiping sweat off their furrowed brow Let’s not forget the women, folks Not only did they work the fields Cooking, cleaning and raising kids For a family they needed to build Let’s celebrate the pioneer, okay? And never forget what they’ve done They shaped the world for progress And I’ll tell you, it was not always fun!
