The Ballad of Jeremiah Johnson – Tim McIntire
Jeremiah Johnson made his way into the mountains
Bettin’ on forgettin’ all the troubles that he knew
The trail was wide and narrow
And the eagle or the sparrow
Showed the path he was to follow as they flew.
A mountain man’s a lonely man
And he leaves a life behind
It ought to have been different,
but oftimes you will find,
That the story doesn’t always
go that way you had in mind.
Jeremiah’s story was that kind. . .
Jeremiah’s story was that kind.
The Way that you Wander … Tim McIntire
The way that you wander is the way that you choose,
The day that you tarry is the day that you lose.
Sunshine or thunder, a man will always wonder.
Where the fair wind blows.
Jeremiah Johnson (Vocal Mix #2): Tim McIntire
An Indian says you search in vain
for what you cannot find.
He says you’ll find a thousand ways
for runnin’ down your time.
An Indian didn’t scream it, he said it in a song,
And he’s never been known to be wrong.
He’s never been known to be wrong.
Tim McIntire’s songs were a wonderful and perfect fit.

Jeremiah Johnson a very good movie,showed the hardships of living alone in the mountains I watch it every time I can.
Jeremiah Johnson is a Western Classic. I don’t challenge that. I’ve watched it several times myself. BUT it’s not a documentary of Jeremiah Johnson – though it follows the mainstream theme of his experience. So I always sort of challenged the Casting of Redford as Johnson as he bears absolutely no resemblance to Johnson at all. BUT again, Director Pollock knew Redford’s Star Power would draw audience and ensure the films success – Movies are expensive and difficult to make. And Redford does a great job in that. Yes – an enjoyable Movie about a rather extraordinary man.
