For Dall its want of wanderin', the Gsky was sad and Dblue
The Dgrass was green from envy, no Aroots under my shoes
I Gride the longest, hardest, fastest Droutes there are to Aride
And Dall is done with style and grace and Awhite port at my Dside   (yodel)
[VERSE]
I Dcame into the world of things a Gpauper I am Dtold
DFor the things I never got, I'm Athankful to my bones
With Gall its lack of gold and green my Dlife has good supAply
Of Dtreasure in the silver stars and Awhite port at my Dside

For Dall its want of wanderin', the Gsky was sad and Dblue
The Dgrass was green from envy, no Aroots under my shoes

My DDenver lass I promised that I'd Gbe out west that Dday

AlGl compliments and commitments I've Ddispensed far and Awide
But Dall was said with smiling face and Awhite port at my Dside
[CHORUS]
For Dall its want of wanderin', the Gsky was sad and Dblue
The Dgrass was green from envy, no Aroots under my shoes
