THERE'S A LEGEND ABOUT TURTLE MOUNTAIN
THAT WAS TOLD SO LONG AGO
HOW THE CROW AND BLACKFOOT NATION
LEFT A CURSE ON THAT GREAT STONE


ON THE DAY THE RED MAN BATTLED
AT THE FOOT OF THAT GREAT STONE
IT WAS SAID THE EARTH DID TREMBLE
AS THEY HEARD THE SPIRITS MOAN


THE YEARS ROLLED BY
THE WHITE MAN SETTLED
IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN
AS THE MINERS DUG FOR FORTUNE
AS THE NEW TOWN OF FRANK WAS BORN


ONE DAY THE CHIEF OF BLACKFOOT
RODE THROUGH THE CROWS NEST PASS
HE LOOKED UP AT TURTLE MOUNTAIN
WOULD HIS WORDS COME TRUE AT LAST


AND THEN THAT FATEFUL MORNING
IT SEEM THE EARTH STOOD STILL
AND WITH A MIGHTY RUMBLE
TURTLE MOUNTAIN TUMBLED DOWN


THE LITTLE TOWN WITH ALL IT'S GLORY
DIED THAT APRIL MORN
AND IT'S SAID THE EARTH STILL TREMBLES
IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN


AND TO THIS DAY THE CHIEF OF BLACKFOOT
RIDES THROUGH THE CROWS NEST PASS
HE LOOKS UP AT THE GHOST OF TURTLE
THE LEGEND CAME TRUE AT LAST
