Mary Ann Barton, Pioneer
I sang this song many times in Primary when I was young.
A few years ago, I learned it was my
Great-grandmother's favorite song to sing as she walked across the plains
as a pioneer.
Original text and music by John Daniel Thompson McAllister, 1827-1910
New verse by Lucile Cardon Reading, 1909-1982
