All set to go; Henry asked as they got a wagon from town and reigned two horses on the front. One was peppered with black and white while the other was pure black, they had found the horses amongst the other abandoned cattle in town. The children were in the inside playing with a few toys they found in town
Yes; Summer said getting on and taking one look at the town after visiting her sisters grave which thankfully had not been destroyed
Onward then; Henry said and slapped the horses rear. They trotted forward on a trail to the next town or village nearby then they were off
Ohhhh way down where the rivers flows; Summer sang
My mama told me not to go; Madison sang with
The rivers always balancing-; Summer sang waiting on Madison
On highs and lows; Madison sang
And if you do not know how to swim then you surely will float; Summer

My mama told me not to go; Summer sang
As years pass on by, the villages all sit near; Madison
But for me my minds telling me no no no; Summer
My mama always told me to fear; Madison
No darling dont you dare go here; Summer
Henry laughed at the song and how ironic it was. Just then did Mason start clapping as the girls sang, he started to whistle in tune
You got to stay away from there; Summer sang holding onto the last note
Because there might just be a bear, hey; Madison said as the girls hollered a "hey"
Where did yall learn that; Henry asked as they went over a hill
From my Pa; Summer said sadly
Wanna hear a miners tune; Henry said
Yes, sure; Summer said
There once was a cave full of gold; Henry sang
Where the men grew very strong and bold; Madison sang
For lights fortold the stories for years; Henry sang
Their hands grew murky and old; Madison said and started to clap in tune
Captain called all men on board; Henry
And pushed the carts for 20 or more; Madison
Onwards they went singing. Summer was happy that they all had songs they grew around with as the wagon was trodding them to new life of adventures. She hadn't known Henry for long but she was grateful to meet him regardless of the circumstances it had came with
