	Story Behind the Song while in Omaha I visited the office of the Army Corps of Engineers. In their lobby they had a reprint of a black cat on a canoe - "Fur traders descending the Missouri" by George Caleb Bingham. There was a story there, so I found it. Lyrics Kitty Conquers the West C Black cat on the Missouri Am Wonders what you’ll find F7 West with the Corps of Discovery G Maybe better times Leaving old St. Louis Upriver to the Mandan Your nose is all a twitching There’s sturgeon in the frying pan Dm Mr. Mountain Kitty Am Conquering the West Dm On a great adventure That will put you to the test Deep in the Bitterroot Mountains Leaving paw prints in the snow Searching for Shoshone On the trail from the Buffalo Nuzzling Sacagawea When her tears began to flow Your purring reassured her When she had to go Mr. Mountain Kitty Conquering the West When it comes to friendship You were very blessed Roll on Columbia, Roll on Black cat and Charbonneau Blazing the path of discovery Where fat cats never go Living in kitty heaven Salmon left and right While the army chewed on doggies You were getting fat and feeling right Mr. Mountain Kitty Conquering the West A belly full of Coho Take time to digest The gateway to the Pacific Was a gray and dismal sight Whale, fish and elk meat Cruzet’s fiddle eased the night It’s been a long, long journey For a curious kitty on the roam Oregon’s very tempting There’s no food like this at home Mr. Mountain Kitty Conquering the West When the going got tough You put the tough all to the test Kitty thought of staying But a grizzly came in view Straight a great sequoia Then jumped in a canoe So he went home with Clark and Lewis And sits on a windowsill He’s had a great adventure That few critters ever will Mr. Mountain Kitty Conquering the West All the other critters Tell me you’re the best
