A pioneer lady and her daughter seek fame and fortune during the California gold rush days...
Rebecca©
Ken Smith (2/11/2012)
Her name was Rebecca; She hailed from West Virginia
Came west to seek her fortune and the California Gold
Rode in to Oklahoma; And her daughter got the fever
Found themselves in Tulsa; at least that's what I'm told
Wild horses were her passion; She could tame the wildest one
No saddles her fashion; 'Neath the sooner summer sun. Oh Rebecca...
In the mornings she'd awaken; taking in the rising sun
Then gaze back to the western sky; where there's gold to be won
For Daniella no healing; that winter record setting cold
Sutter's Mill now more distant; and her visions of California Gold
Dreams, they were a crashing; from many, down to one
The drought of '53 was gnashing; at her crops 'neath the sooner summer sun. Oh Rebecca...
Goodbye my sweet Daniella; forever on my mind
Your smile my only pleasure; a gift of special times
They say she went riding; on a morning in the spring
No note to leave a warning; Or a clue of future things
Wild horses were her passion; She could tame the wildest one
No saddles in fashion; 'Neath the sooner summer sun. Oh Rebecca...
