SEAMAN SONG 🎵 The Lewis and Clark Dog 🐶 Official Music Video

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTcAZDNQbVc

We love dogs, all sorts of dogs. During our two visits to St. Charles, Missouri in the RV, we enjoyed learning about Seaman, the newfoundland dog who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition to the West. • 🔗 RESOURCES / LINKS 🔗 • I (Lana) learned a ton writing this song. The best resources I found were: • *The National Parks Service map. If you click on the icon, you can learn about what happened at a particular location. • https://www.nps.gov/lecl/planyourvisi... • *University of Nebraska searchable library of the journals. As you’ll see in the video, I included some journal excerpts to help people understand some of the source material. • https://lewisandclarkjournals.unl.edu/ • Admittedly, some of the lyrics are somewhat fictionalized. I have no idea how Seaman and Pomp interacted, but I’m guessing they were probably best buddies. I also embellished on the last set of lyrics about Seaman’s battle with the beaver. The double meaning was just too much to pass up. • Verse I: • In Pittsburg Pennsylvania • Eighteen hundred and three • A pup would start his • Famous journey. • Near St. Louis • Eighteen hundred four • The young dog • joined the Discovery Corp. • He liked to hunt • And explore the trail. • He liked rabbits • And waggin’ his tail. • A hunter, a fighter • Loyal ‘till the end. • He might have been • Meriwether’s best friend. • This is the tale of Seaman • The dog who explored the West. • This newfoundland found new land • And was the nation’s best. • Verse 2: • They started near St. Charles • And followed the Mighty MO. • To the Snake and Columbia • Rivers they would go • Lewis and Clark • Had Seaman by their side • When they marveled at the bluffs • And the Continental Divide. • He saw the Great Falls • And wintered at Fort Clatsop. • When they finally reached the ocean • They were tired and distraught. • This is the tale of Seaman • The dog who explored the West. • For this newfoundland to find new land • He was put to the test. • Verse 3: • He met the Chinook, • Mandan, and Blackfeet too. • But I think his favorites • Were the Shoshone and Sioux. • He loved Sacagawea • And lil’ Pomp, her son • Who would throw a stick for a lick; • They really had some fun. • The Shawnee hoped to barter for him • But Lewis said no way. • They needed Seaman on their trip • To help find their way. • This is the tale of Seaman • The dog who explored the West • And how Lewis almost lost him • To a Watlala theft. • Verse 4: • Now, he was a good retriever • But he never figured out • How to get around the beavers • Who liked to block his route. • Those beaver blocked his path. • Seaman couldn’t cross the dam • No matter now hard • Little Seaman swam • While Seaman was brave • He had a ghastly fright • When he wagged his tail on the trail • And got a beaver bite • Yep, the Seaman and those Beavers • They never got along. • Those beavers would not let him through • No matter how strong. • This is the tale of Seaman • And his dad Meriwether • And how Seaman and • Beaver should never play together. • Credits: The music is a song called Folk Bed by Jason Shaw (audionautix.com) licensed under CC-BY 4.0.
