Lyrics
My home? in montana, I wear a bandana My spurs are silver, my horse is a bay And i?e been a-roamin?all over wyomin? There? plenty of work, but there ain? too much pay
Me and a few boys we signed on at dubois To feed through the winter and camp out awhile Come a hard hittin?norther from the montana border We tallied the frozen ones mile after mile
Well they give you your three squares and a bunk to sleep there And just enough wages to keep you around But with no place to spend it and nowhere to send it You can stay out of debt if you stay out of town
Chorus It? horses and cattle and a double rig saddle With a stout line, a catch twine, and a good ropin' arm Wherever there? ranches, i?e been takin' my chances From sunrise to sunset since the day I was born
We struck out for laramie early one saturday Spring was a breakin?the grass turnin' green Well, I took a hand in some fast movin' brandin' When they offered top wages at the bar seventeen
We followed a rodeo clear up to codeo Tryin' to ride me a bronco or two Well, I [c]busted some hosses for [f]two or three bosses And [c]lost all the wages that [g]ever I [c]drew
[C]well it? hell and high water for the [f]idaho border Where [c]i?e got a gal if that letter don? [g]lie If she [c]gives me a reason to [f]stay through the season I?l [c]take her to elko when the [f]snow starts to [c]fly
Chorus
