Cover art for Cold Misssouri Waters lyrics by Cry Cry Cry

A death bed confessional made by 'smokejumper' Wagner Dodge about the events surrounding the Mann Gulch fire on August 5th, 1949. Dodge survived the fire with minor injuries but died 5 years later of Hodgkin's Disease.

This is an impressive storyteller's song written by James Keelaghan recounting true events (even though some specifics have been widely debated).
