And the President said to Kit Carson

"Take my best four horsemen please

And ride out to the four directions

Make my great lands barren for me

Make my great lands barren for me" Kit Carson said to the President

"You've made your offer sweet

I'll accept this task you've set for me

My fall's not yet complete

My fall's not yet complete" Kit Carson knew he had a job to do

Like other jobs he had before

He'd made the grade

He learned to trade in famine, pestilence, and war

Famine, pestilence and war Kit Carson was a hero to some

With his poison and his flame

But somewhere there's a restless ghost

That used to bear his name

That used to bear his name Kit Carson was a hero to some

With his poison and his flame

But somewhere there's a restless ghost

That used to bear his name

That used to bear his name
