Lyrics

In Four Feather Falls, Four Feather Falls
There's always magic in the air
In Four Feather Falls, Four Feather Falls
You'll always find a vacant chair

In Four Feather Falls, Four Feather Falls
Every heart is kind and true
If ever you're in town they'll never let you down
And stranger there's a welcome for you

But anything can happen, anything at all
Why you might hear a dog, "Meow."
Hey, hey but stranger than that,
Any stray cat may suddenly remark, "Bow-wow."
Ho, ho, Four Feather Falls, Four Feather Falls
The only place on earth to be
'Cause Four Feather Falls, Four Feather Falls
Means heaven on the range to me

In Four Feather Falls, Four Feather Falls
The only place on earth to be
'Cause Four Feather Falls, (I said) Four Feather Falls
Means heaven on the range to me.
