[Verse]
CMy home's in Montana, I Fwear a bandana,
My Cspurs are silver, my horse is a Gbay.
And CI've been a-roamin' all Fover Wyomin',
There's Cplenty of work, but there Gain't too much Cpay.
FMe and a few boys we Csigned on at Dubois,
To Cfeed through the winter and camp out a Gwhile.
Come a Chard hittin' norther from the FMontana border,
We Ctallied the frozen ones Gmile after Cmile.
CWell they give you your three squares and a Fbunk to sleep there,
And Cjust enough wages to keep you a Ground.
But with Cno place to spend it and Fnowhere to send it,
You can Cstay out of debt if you Gstay out of Ctown.
[Chorus]
It's Fhorses and cattle and a Cdouble rig saddle,
With a Cstout line, a catch twine, and a good ropin' Garm.
WhereCver there's ranches, I've been tFakin' my chances,
From sCunrise to sunset since the dGay I was bCorn
CWe struck out for Laramie Fearly one Saturday,
CSpring was a breakin' the grass turnin' Ggreen.
Well, CI took a hand in some Ffast movin' brandin',
When they Coffered top wages at the GBar SeventCeen.
We Ffollowed a rodeo Cclear up to Codeo,
CTryin' to ride me a bronco or Gtwo.
Well, I Cbusted some hosses for Ftwo or three bosses,
And Clost all the wages that Gever I Cdrew.
CWell it's hell and high water for the FIdaho border,
Where CI've got a gal if that letter don't Glie.
If she Cgives me a reason to Fstay through the season,
I'll Ctake her to Elko when the Fsnow starts to Cfly.

Come a hard hittin' norther from the Montana border,

We tallied the frozen ones mile after mile.

And just enough wages to keep you a round.

But with no place to spend it and nowhere to send it,

You can stay out of debt if you stay out of town.

It's horses and cattle and a double rig saddle,

Wherever there's ranches, I've been takin' my chances,

From sunrise to sunset since the day I was born

Tryin' to ride me a bronco or two.

I'll take her to Elko when the snow starts to fly.
