He was in the born bitterroot valley in the early morning rain |
| [00:11.46] |
Wild geese over the water headin north and home again |
| [00:15.27] |
Bringin a warm wind from the south |
| [00:17.09] |
Bringin the first taste of the spring |
| [00:19.15] |
His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing |
| [00:23.21] |
|
| [00:24.26] |
Oh montana, give this child a home |
| [00:29.07] |
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own |
| [00:32.71] |
|
| [00:33.39] |
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes |
| [00:36.07] |
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies |
| [00:42.69] |
|
| [00:45.32] |
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry |
| [00:49.00] |
He never knew his father and he never did ask why |
| [00:53.12] |
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way |
| [00:56.68] |
But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way |
| [01:01.06] |
|
| [01:01.94] |
His mothers brother took him in to family and his home |
| [01:05.74] |
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own |
| [01:10.10] |
And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land |
| [01:13.99] |
And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand |
| [01:18.31] |
Oh montana, give this child a home |
| [01:22.87] |
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own |
| [01:26.55] |
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes |
| [01:30.79] |
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies |
| [01:37.12] |
|
| [01:39.20] |
On the eve of his 21st birthday he set out on his own |
| [01:43.13] |
He was 30 years and runnin when he found his way back home |
| [01:47.06] |
Ridin a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart |
| [01:50.75] |
Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start |
| [01:56.36] |
Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone |
| [02:00.23] |
Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a john |
| [02:04.29] |
There was somethin in the city that he said he couldnt breathe |
| [02:07.36] |
|
| [02:08.80] |
And there was somethin in the country that he said he couldnt leave |
| [02:13.35] |
Oh montana, give this child a home |
| [02:17.54] |
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own |
| [02:21.05] |
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes |
| [02:25.10] |
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies |
| [02:31.94] |
|
| [02:46.29] |
Now some say he was crazy and theyre glad that he is gone |
| [02:50.72] |
But some of us miss him and well try to carry on |
| [02:54.52] |
Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn |
| [02:58.45] |
Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on |
| [03:02.57] |
|
| [03:03.82] |
Oh montana, give this child a home |
| [03:08.32] |
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own |
| [03:12.38] |
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes |
| [03:16.31] |
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies |
| [03:22.49] |
Oh montana, give this child a home |
| [03:26.42] |
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own |
| [03:30.22] |
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes |
| [03:34.34] |
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies |
