Well in 1859, I was headin' up Pikes Peak
Goldrush underway down by Cripple Creek
I dreamed of finding the motherlode
With my faithful horse, along we strode
Saw a group of miners goin' the other way
Listened real close and overheard 'em say
The thing on this mountain, that'll scare ya most
Is the old cold-blooded Rocky Mountain Ghost

Soon after that, settled down in a mining town
Hungry prospectors all around
Early one morning I was on the ridge top
Pickaxe in my hand, swinging nonstop
From the canyon, rang an echo
Calling, here's somethin' you oughta know
The thing on this mountain that'll scare ya most
Is the old cold-blooded Rocky Mountain Ghost

Oh my aching back, panning gold seven days a week
Barely found an ounce, my future looked bleak
A moonless night, I was working late
I heard a blast near the cave's front gate
Found a weary miner shivering to the bone
Bent down to hear his desperate moan
The thing on this mountain that'll scare ya most
Is the old cold-blooded Rocky Mountain Ghost

I could not sleep that night, from the man's frightful wail
But wouldn't be scared off by ghostly tales
Next night all alone in the deep dark mine
My headlamp went out at the end of the line
A booming rumble shook the shaft
A pitch-black shadow began to laugh
The thing on the mountain that'll scare ya most
Is the old cold-blooded Rocky Mountain Ghost

The very moment after the foggy phantom was gone
I could feel hope as my headlamp flickered on
Packed up, decided it was time to change course
Jumped on the saddle of my trusty horse
Staked out west in the gulch of Big Horn
Every newcomer, I felt possessed to warn
The thing on the mountain that'll scare ya most
Is the old cold-blooded Rocky Mountain Ghost
