Well, John Coulter knew the Blackfeet
must believe him unafraid.
He looked his captor in the eye,
a dangerous game he played.
The Blackfoot chief said to his men,
this prisoner is so brave,
we take his clothes and turn him loose
with a chance his scalp to save.
Well, set him loose without his clothes,
without his shoes and gun.
His courage was his only hope,
a race for his life to run.
Their fastest runners after him,
their lances waving high,
the knowledge pounding in his heart
C
G
that he had to win or die.
C
Sing of the bravest mountain men,
F
C
sing of the strong and the fleet.
F
Coulter's courage was in his heart
G
C
and his speed was in his feet.
Well, John Coulter ran
and ran and he ran
and he ran like an antelope in fright,
straight across the cactus
thickets like an arrow
in its flight.
G
Lungs are bursting with the effort,
C
every muscle starts to scream,
six miles of endless running,
and suddenly there's a
stream.
F
Dives deep into the water,
G
breathing through a hollow reed,
C
F
leaving Blackfoot runners
baffled
G
C
by the wonder of his speed.
G
John waited till the Redmen left,
C
then walked back to Fort Manuel.
G
C
300 miles of barefoot trail.
Said he'd like to rest a spell.

And his speed was in his feet.
