Way up high on the plateau. 
 Man and animals live free, 
 where the ponderosa’s grow. 
 


After the snow, all seems aglow, on the rim with some degree. Way up high on the plateau.

Eagles soar up with the crow, 
 and deer run wild and free. 
 Where the ponderosa’s grow. 
 


Bears grow fat and seem to slow, as winter begins and now they flee . Way up high on the plateau.

Rains fall and rivers flow,
as rainbow’s paint a grand marquee. Where the ponderosa’s grow.

The ermine coating of the snow,
is the prettiest sight to see.
Way up high on the plateau ,
where the ponderosa’s grow.
