Bear River Tom Smith – The Lawman Who Fought Without a Gun!
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
In the wild heart of Kansas, where the cattle trails run,
Lived a man named Tom Smith, 'neath the prairie sun.
From the streets of New York to the Wyoming dust,
He carved out a name with his fists and his trust.
Bear River they called him, where the riots burned high,
A town turned to ashes 'neath a blood-red sky.
With a mustache thick and a heart bold and true,
He faced down the devil, and the devil blinked too.

(Chorus)
Oh, Bear River Tom, with your fearless soul,
You tamed Abilene where the wild winds blow.
With your hands of iron and a lawman’s creed,
You gave all you had for a town in need.
But the axe fell swift, and the shadows won,
Now the prairie weeps for its fallen son.

(Verse 2)
In Abilene’s chaos, where saloons never sleep,
The mayor sent for Tom, said, “The town’s yours to keep.”
No gun did he favor, just his fists and his might,
He brought law to the lawless in the dead of the night.
Big Hank and Wyoming Frank, they learned quick and sore,
Tom’s hands were the storm that they couldn’t ignore.
He banned guns in the city, though the cowboys would curse,
Two bullets missed him, but his heart stayed the course.

(Chorus)
Oh, Bear River Tom, with your fearless soul,
You tamed Abilene where the wild winds blow.
With your hands of iron and a lawman’s creed,
You gave all you had for a town in need.
But the axe fell swift, and the shadows won,
Now the prairie weeps for its fallen son.

(Bridge)
Out ten miles from town, with a deputy new,
He rode to serve justice, like he swore he would do.
“Forget what you’ve heard,” he’d say, strong and worn,
“Leaders are made, they ain’t ever just born.”
McConnell and Miles, with their hearts cold as stone,
Shot Tom in the chest, left him bleeding alone.
His deputy fled, and the rifle butt fell,
Then an axe stole his breath in a moment of hell.

(Verse 3)
The town mourned their marshal, their beacon of light,
Wild Bill took his place, but it never felt right.
Eisenhower would pause at his grave now and then,
To honor the courage of one of the men.
In stories and songs, his name rides the breeze,
A ghost on the plains where the wild rivers freeze.
Bear River Tom, with his fists and his fire,
Still walks in the dreams of the hearts that aspire.

(Chorus)
Oh, Bear River Tom, with your fearless soul,
You tamed Abilene where the wild winds blow.
With your hands of iron and a lawman’s creed,
You gave all you had for a town in need.
But the axe fell swift, and the shadows won,
Now the prairie weeps for its fallen son.

(Outro)
So raise up a glass to the man who stood tall,
Who gave Abilene hope when it had none at all.
Bear River Tom, may your spirit ride free,
In the wide open plains of eternity.
