The autumn moon, there on the ridge, Casts shadows, long and weird. The restless breeze goes scurrying Along the narrow street, Another sound now fills the night The tramp of ghostly feet! Just now I heard a ghostly word, A ghostly burro bray The mountain men are home again To spend the holiday! The canyon walls are echoing Once more to song and laughter. A challenge flung from ghostly lips To us who follow after "And shall you turn the challenge down And hurry home to bed? For who has most to celebrate The living, or the dead? Tonight once more from swinging doors The yellow lamplight plays The mountain men are home again To spend the holidays! "What is the difference, now from then? This is the same old town! The same old hills loom black above, The same old moon looks down! What if our strident voices are But whispers in the dust? We've come to celebrate!" they cry "Who's here to welcome us?" A score of ghostly shots ring out From a bar across the way, The mountain men are home again To spend GALENA DAYS. By Dale Johnston, General Chairman Galena Days.
