The Gift - Ian Tyson[00:00:00]
In old St Louis over in Missouri[00:00:06]
The mighty Mississippi well it rolls and flows [00:00:16]
A son was born to Mary Russell[00:00:21]
And it starts the legend every cowboy knows [00:00:27]
Young kid Russell was born to wander [00:00:32]
Ever westward he was bound to roam [00:00:40]
Just a kid of sixteen in 1880 [00:00:45]
Up in wild Montana he found his home [00:00:51]
God made Montana for the wild man [00:00:56]
For the Piegan and the Sioux and Crow [00:01:02]
Saved His greatest gift for Charlie [00:01:08]
Said “Get her all down before she goes [00:01:13]
You gotta get her all down[00:01:19]
'cause she's bound to go ”[00:01:21]
God hung the stars over Judith Basin [00:01:27]
God put the magic in young Charlie's hands [00:01:33]
And all was seen and all remembered [00:01:39]
Every shining mountain every longhorn brand [00:01:44]
He could paint the light on horsehide shining [00:01:50]
The great passing herds of the buffalo [00:01:57]
And a cow camp cold on a rainy morning [00:02:02]
And the twisting wrist of the Houlihan throw [00:02:08]
God made Montana for the wild man [00:02:14]
For the Piegan and the Sioux and Crow [00:02:19]
Saved His greatest gift for Charlie [00:02:25]
Said “Get her all down before she goes [00:02:30]
You gotta get her all down[00:02:36]
'cause she's bound to go ”[00:02:39]
When the Lord called Charlie to his home up yonder[00:02:42]
He said “Kid Russell I got a job for you [00:03:00]
You're in charge of sunsets up in old Montana[00:03:06]
'Cause I can't paint them quite as good as you [00:03:11]
And when you're done we'll go out and have a few [00:03:17]
And Nancy Russell will make sure it's just two ”[00:03:23]
God made Montana for the wild man [00:03:28]
For the Piegan and the Sioux and Crow [00:03:34]
Saved His greatest gift for Charlie [00:03:39]
Said “Get her all down before she goes [00:03:45]
You gotta get her all down[00:03:51]
'cause she's bound to go ”[00:03:53]
