(Instrumental intro - 38 seconds)
It was Lowther, Willard, Cosgrave, back when it all began
Ron Glass and Hally Walgenbach they were
Skinners to the man
On up to Kelly Sutherland and the Dorchesters as well
They all had their baptism
On that Half a Mile of Hell
Feel the horses getting crazy, feel the burning in their souls
As the sun goes down in Calgary and the wagons start to roll.
Hear the thunder of the hoof beats; it's a sound they know so well
As they cast their fate to the figure eight
And the Half a Mile of Hell
(Instrumental break - 35 seconds)
It was Lowther, Willard, Cosgrave, back when it all began
Ron Glass and Hally Walgenbach they were
Skinners to the man
On up to Kelly Sutherland and the Dorchesters as well
They all had their baptism
On that Half a Mile of Hell
Feel the horses getting crazy, feel the burning in their souls
When the sun goes down in Calgary and the wagons start to roll.
Hear the thunder of the hoof beats; it's a sound they know so well
As they cast their fate to the figure eight
And the Half a Mile of Hell
As they cast their fate to the figure eight
And the Half a Mile of Hell
It was Lowther, Willard, Cosgrave, back when it all began
Ron Glass and Hally Walgenbach they were
Skinners to the man
On up to Kelly Sutherland and the Dorchesters as well
They all had their baptism
On that Half a Mile of Hell
Feel the horses getting crazy, feel the burning in their souls
As the sun goes down in Calgary and the wagons start to roll.
Hear the thunder of the hoof beats; it's a sound they know so well
As they cast their fate to the figure eight
And the Half a Mile of Hell
(Instrumental break - 35 seconds)
It was Lowther, Willard, Cosgrave, back when it all began
Ron Glass and Hally Walgenbach they were

Feel the horses getting crazy, feel the burning in their souls
When the sun goes down in Calgary and the wagons start to roll.
Hear the thunder of the hoof beats; it's a sound they know so well
As they cast their fate to the figure eight
And the Half a Mile of Hell
As they cast their fate to the figure eight
And the Half a Mile of Hell
