00:00The End

00:30Oh, mighty Paul Bunyan, he lived long ago.

00:37His strength and his goodness helped America grow.

00:45When Paul Bunyan was just one month old,

00:48he placed his baby hands around a young maple tree

00:51and tore it out of the ground roots and all.

00:54When he was only 18, he was already 25 feet tall

01:02and weighed 800 pounds, all bone and muscle.

01:10He took one look at the deep forests of the West

01:13and found his job, to chop down the trees

01:16to make room for cities, farms and people.

01:19Come all you sons of freedom that run the forest stream

01:25Come all you roving lumberjacks and listen to my theme

01:30We'll cross the roaring rivers where the mighty waters flow

01:36And we'll roam the wild woods over

01:39And once more a lumbering go

01:42And once more a lumbering go

01:45And once more a lumbering go

01:48We'll roam the wild woods over

01:51And once more a lumbering go

01:56Paul Bunyan was so tall, he covered miles with every step.

02:02Why, one day he started walking across the country.

02:05He walked across Ohio, Indiana, Illinois

02:08and then stepped into the state of Wisconsin.

02:11There, he met an old farmer.

02:13His head bowed down with grief.

02:15The farmer told Paul his story.

02:18I'm going down the road feeling bad

02:22Oh, my crops have failed and now I'm feeling sad

02:27My family is hungry and we have no place to live

02:32I'm going down the road feeling bad

02:37And with five blows of his axe, Paul Bunyan cleared a space of ten miles for a brand new farm.

02:45Thank you, Paul Bunyan, cried the farmer.

02:47You're welcome, said Paul, as he took an extra big step and walked from Wisconsin into Montana.

02:53Yes, Paul Bunyan did some remarkable things, all right.

02:58As a soldier in the Revolutionary War, he faced a whole line of cannon.

03:03As the Hessian soldiers fired at him, he picked up a tree trunk and batted their cannonballs right back.

03:09Like baseballs.

03:11Once, when pirates were roaming the east coast of the United States,

03:15He splashed his foot in the ocean and started a wave that sank the whole pirate navy.

03:21Oh, and I almost forgot.

03:23He also built the Rocky Mountains.

03:25Paul grabbed a hill with either hand

03:27With a ring-ting-a-tim-ring-a-tid-not-nay

03:30And set them down so they would stand in a row

03:34He built the Rockies up so high

03:37The topmost peak held up the sky

03:41With a ring-ting-a-tim-ring-a-tid-not-nay

03:47Then came the biggest job of his life.

03:50The country had no inland waterway large enough for big ships carrying heavy freight.

03:55So, Paul Bunyan began to dig.

04:02Soon, he had scooped out hundreds of miles of earth.

04:06Now, he wanted rain.

04:09So, he clapped his hands together.

04:11And down poured the rain.

04:17Until the holes in the earth were filled with the Great Lakes.

04:26Now, one of the Great Lakes was named Lake Erie.

04:29And the town of Buffalo was on its shore.

04:31It took just another day's work for Paul Bunyan

04:34to dig the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany.

04:38And the inland waterway was completed.

04:41In his later years, with his big jobs done,

04:44Paul Bunyan went back to one of his favorite hobbies.

04:47Mountain making.

04:49ooh

04:56for children

05:00a rock candy mountain.

05:09and the milkshakes blow

05:10down the big rock candy mountain.

05:13Oh, the children eat their fill

05:15of the whipped cream hill

05:16and no one's ever counting.

05:20There's so much to eat.

05:21Life is one long treat

05:22on that big rock candy mountain.

05:27Did Paul Bunyan really live?

05:30Well, nobody knows for sure.

05:34Oh, mighty Paul Bunyan,

05:39he lived long ago.

05:43His strength and his goodness

05:47helped America grow.

06:00Thank you, Lord,

06:12thank you.
