The Scout of the Wild – A Duet Country Ballad of Fred Burnham
LYRICS:
Verse 1
Born in ’61 on a Sioux reservation,
In Minnesota’s fields, found my heart’s true sensation.
Learned the trails as a boy, with the wind as my guide,
By fourteen, I was ridin’, with a fire inside.

From Apache Wars to the Arizona dust,
You tracked through the canyons, in the men you could trust.
A scout for the Army, with a heart brave and bold,
Oh, Fred Burnham, your story’s a legend to be told.

Chorus
He’s the scout of the wild, with a gaze like the stars,
Chasin’ dreams ‘cross the plains, under skies near and far.
From Rhodesia’s battles to the Klondike’s cold streams,
Fred Burnham lived bigger than a cowboy’s dreams.

Verse 2
In ’93 I sailed, to Africa’s frontier,
With Blanche Blick Burnham, my strength always near.
Chief of Scouts in Matabele, with a rifle in hand,
Blazed a trail through the darkness, on that wild, rugged land.

Voice 2
With Baden-Powell ridin’, through the Matopos Hills,
You taught him the woodcraft, gave the world new thrills.
Your campfire talks sparked Scoutin’, a movement to stay,
Coins struck in ’07 keep your name bright today.

Chorus
He’s the scout of the wild, with a gaze like the stars,
Chasin’ dreams ‘cross the plains, under skies near and far.
From Rhodesia’s battles to the Klondike’s cold streams,
Fred Burnham lived bigger than a cowboy’s dreams.

Bridge
I wore the King’s medal, but said with my blood,
“Nations fall when they’re timid, fear washin’ like a flood.”
Our sweet Nada was lost, and Bruce drowned far from home,
Through the pain and the glory, we never walked alone.

Verse 3
Back to California, where the oil wells did rise,
Struck it rich with my son, under golden skies.
Saved the bighorn sheep, kept the wild land free,
My name on a mountain, for the world to see.

A trophy for bowlin’, and a fossil’s old name,
Serbelodon carries your undyin’ fame.
At eighty-six, you left, with your tale carved in stone,
By Mount Burnham’s peak, you’re never alone.

Chorus
He’s the scout of the wild, with a gaze like the stars,
Chasin’ dreams ‘cross the plains, under skies near and far.
From Rhodesia’s battles to the Klondike’s cold streams,
Fred Burnham lived bigger than a cowboy’s dreams.

Outro
So raise up a glass to the man who roamed free,
Fred Burnham, the scout, lives in you and in me.
Through coins, hills, and campfires, his legacy stays,
The scout of the wild, in our hearts all his days.
