Description





"Live every day so that you can look every damn man in the face and tell him to go to hell."


OLD MONTANA

Take me back to old Montana

Where there's plenty room and air;

Where there's cottonwood an'pine trees.

Bitterroot an'pricklypear;

Where there ain't no pomp nor glitter

Where a shillin's called a"bit;"

Where at night the magpies twitter,

Where the injun fights were fit.


Take me back where the sage is plenty.

Where there's rattlesnakes.and ticks;

Where a stack of"whites"costs twenty,

Where they don't sell gilded bricks;

Where the old Missouri river

An'the muddy Yellowstone

Make green patches in the Bad Lands

Where old Sitton'Bull was known.


Take me where there ain't no subways

Nor no fortystory shacks;

Where they shy at automobiles,

Dudes, plug hats an'threerail tracks;

Where the old suntanned prospector

Dreams of wealth an'pans his dirt;

Where the sleepy nightherd puncher S

ings to steers and plys his quirt.


Take me where there's diamond hitches.

Ropes an'brands an'ca tridge belts;

Where the boys wear shapps fer britches.

Flannel shirts an'Stetson felts.

Land of alfalfa an'copper!

Land of sapphire an'gold!

Take me back to dear Montana,

Let me die there when I'm old.
