And the President said to 
Kit Carson"Take my best four horsemen pleaseAnd ride out to the four directionsMake my great lands barren for meMake my great lands barren for me"
Kit Carson said to the 
President"You've made your offer sweetI'll accept this task you've set for meMy fall's not yet completeMy fall's not yet complete"
Kit Carson knew he had a job to do
Like other jobs he had before
He'd made the grade
He learned to trade in famine, pestilence, and war
Famine, pestilence and war
Kit Carson was a hero to some
With his poison and his flame
But somewhere there's a restless ghost
That used to bear his name
That used to bear his name
Kit Carson was a hero to some
With his poison and his flame
But somewhere there's a restless ghost
That used to bear his name
That used to bear his name
