[Verse]
C F
My home's in Montana, I wear a bandana,
C G
My spurs are silver, my horse is a bay.
C F
And I've been a-roamin' all over Wyomin',
C G C
There's plenty of work, but there ain't too much pay.
F C
Me and a few boys we signed on at Dubois,
C G
To feed through the winter and camp out a while.
C F
Come a hard hittin' norther from the Montana border,
C G C
We tallied the frozen ones mile after mile.
C F
Well they give you your three squares and a bunk to sleep there,
C G
And just enough wages to keep you a round.
C F
But with no place to spend it and nowhere to send it,
C G C
You can stay out of debt if you stay out of town.
[Chorus]
F C
It's horses and cattle and a double rig saddle,
C G
With a stout line, a catch twine, and a good ropin' arm.
C F
Wherever there's ranches, I've been takin' my chances,
C G C
From sunrise to sunset since the day I was born
C F
We struck out for Laramie early one Saturday,
C G
Spring was a breakin' the grass turnin' green.
C F
Well, I took a hand in some fast movin' brandin',
C G C
When they offered top wages at the Bar Seventeen.
F C
We followed a rodeo clear up to Codeo,
C G
Tryin' to ride me a bronco or two.
C F
Well, I busted some hosses for two or three bosses,
C G C
And lost all the wages that ever I drew.
C F
Well it's hell and high water for the Idaho border,
C G
Where I've got a gal if that letter don't lie.
C F
If she gives me a reason to stay through the season,
C F C
I'll take her to Elko when the snow starts to fly.
