Trooper Hook Songtext
von Tex Ritter

Trooper Hook upon his horse is a mighty wonderous thing
As the cavalry comes a-charging and the Indian arrows sing
Rawhide strong, Trooper Hook knew the West like a book
Soldier true, his fight never through, never through

The mountains flung their lonely peaks against the copper sky
The dusty earth resounded as the trooper, he rode by
Shining spurs, army rig, makes a man feel big
Give me earth, give me sky, let me live, let me die as a trooper


They found the captive wife of an Apache Indian chief
Trooper′s duty to restore her to her husband bowed with grief
But she would not part with the child of her heart
Scorn she knew, fear and danger too, danger too

They rode the stage to bring her back, the driver seated a-high
He snapped his great long snaky whip against a wind-torn sky
Oh, he shouted, "Roo roo roo," as he drove the stage on through
But the Indian followed too and within
The coach, they knew mortal danger
