Lyrics
There’s smoke above the teepees
And drum beats on the air
Tall pines touch the heavens
And someone waits me there
I’m on my way so night and day
Up hill down dale I go
Seeking a trail deep in a vale
North of the Navajo
I’m far astray, look where I may
There’s ne’er a moon aglow
Blazing a trail deep in a vale
North of the Navajo
Out where the West begins
Close to the timberline
Out there in the Rockies
Is an old sweetheart of mine
I’ll plod along without a song
Seeking the way to go straight up the trail
Deep in a vale
North of the Navajo
