about

Gone for good the days of old 
Gone the way of the buffalo
All the spikes are driven the claims been staked 
All the deeds are done all them hands been shaked

It was a whiskey fort that won the west 
A long dry spell took the rest
Aint too late to be told 
Leave nothing but your footprints 
When you go

All you left for old Prince Rupert 
Grandmothers' sons in a stumbling stupor
The arm of the law get along 
Here before Christ and long gone

It was a whiskey fort that won the west 
A long dry spell took the rest
Round up in the old corral 
And buy it up buy the gallon

Strike him on the back that was underhanded
Got an iron horse and a plot of land
Wouldn't damn the river didn't see the sense 
And Louis Riel wouldn't sit on the fence

It was a whiskey fort that won the west 
A long dry spell took the rest
White man's foot running wild 
Loose strife spreading mile to mile

Is this the whoop up trail what the hell 
I'm all fed up come the rebel yell
I'm the next of kin to where I've been 
Don't leave nothing but your foot prints

Gone the way of the buffalo 
Pioneers on the fields of gold 
Whiskey runners on the trail 
Looking like they always will

It was a whiskey fort that won the west 
A long dry spell took the rest
Ain't too late to be told 
Leave nothing but your foot prints when you go

Is this the whoop up trail what the hell 
I'm all fed up come the rebel yell
I'm the next of kin to where I've been 
Don't leave nothing but your foot prints

lyrics

Is this the whoop up trail or what the Hell?
