PHANTOM RANCH

(TO THE TUNE OF MARGARITAVILLE)

BY JULIE CHURCH AND BOB JOHNSON ©2003

 

 

Doin’ north kaibab,

They said it weren’t that bad.

14 miles and its all been down hill.

Doin’ the switchbacks,

Carrin’ my backpack.

It’s 3 p.m. And it’s hotter than hell.

 

Dreaming of  ice cold beer down at the phantom ranch

Hopin’ the cantina, isn’t yet closed,

Somebody said it’s only 2 miles ahead,

I don’t know, that was 5 hours ago.

 

Toe nails are achin’

Body’s been bakin’

I’m likin’ the looks of that cool lookin’ stream.

Peelin’ my socks off,

My moleskins all fell off,

Raw spots on my feet, made it hard not to scream.

 

Dreamin’ of  ice cold beer down at the phantom ranch.

Hopin’ the cantina, isn’t yet closed.

Somebody said it’s only two miles ahead,

I don’t know, that was 5 hours ago.

 

Spent the day chillin’

Cantina was jammin’

Wrote up this song, we all sang along.

My beer crave abbated,

This song got created,

We made some new friends they were from michigan.

 

Singing along with friends down at the phantom ranch.

Drinking beer and playin’ with this old guitar,

Hikin’ out tomorrow on the bright angel trail,

And i hope, that it won’t be too hard.

 

I’ve hit the devil’s corkscrew

Feeling the hiking dew

Wishin i was closer to indian garden

 

The temperatures climing

And so are we whining

The aches and the pains are starting anew

 

Dreamin’ of  ice cold beer at bright angel lodge.

Hopin’ the cantina isn’t out of beer.

Somebody said it’s only two miles ahead,

I don’t know, that was 5 hours ago.

 

The mule shit’s increasing

The sssun, it’s a beating

The flys will consume us if we stop

 

We are gettin nearer

The arches are much clearer

We might just make it to that great bar

 

Wasted away again in bright angel lodge

Drinking beers with friends from afar

Some people said it was only 2 miles ahead

But we know, it was too damn far.
