lyrics
Helga Estby has a story that hasn't been told
Yes Ms Estby has a story that should have been told
'Bout how she tried to save her family from starving and losing their home
One morning she set out with Clara her daughter
By her side
A mysterious party was offering a generous prize
To the woman who could walk to New York City from the West
In good time
3000 miles
She walked 3000 miles
They followed the railroads through the wilderness of 1896
Proved they hand endurance and were not just the fragile weaker sex
Climbed over mountains, waded rives and made their way from one town to the next
3000 miles
She walked 3000 miles
10,000 dollars on their minds kept them going thru the danger they would face
They shot a man, a mountain lion followed them - three terrifying days
But Helga Estby and her daughter were strong and determined and brave
3000 miles
She walked 3000 miles
3000 miles
She walked 3000 miles
Yes Ms Estby has a story that should have been told
'Bout how she tried to save her family from starving and losing their home
One morning she set out with Clara her daughter
By her side
A mysterious party was offering a generous prize
To the woman who could walk to New York City from the West
In good time
3000 miles
She walked 3000 miles
They followed the railroads through the wilderness of 1896
Proved they hand endurance and were not just the fragile weaker sex
Climbed over mountains, waded rives and made their way from one town to the next
3000 miles
She walked 3000 miles
10,000 dollars on their minds kept them going thru the danger they would face
They shot a man, a mountain lion followed them - three terrifying days
But Helga Estby and her daughter were strong and determined and brave
3000 miles
She walked 3000 miles
3000 miles
She walked 3000 miles
