He was born in the bitterroot valley in the early morning rain[00:00:04]
Wild geese over the water headin' north and home again[00:00:08]
Bringin' a warm wind from the south[00:00:12]
Bringin' the first taste of the spring[00:00:14]
His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing[00:00:17]
Oh montana give this child a home[00:00:22]
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own[00:00:26]
Give him a fire in his heart give him a light in his eyes[00:00:31]
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies[00:00:35]
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry[00:00:44]
He never knew his father and he never did ask why[00:00:48]
He never knew the answers that would make an easy way[00:00:53]
But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way[00:00:57]
His mother's brother took him in to family and his home[00:01:02]
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own[00:01:07]
And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land[00:01:11]
And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand[00:01:15]
Oh montana give this child a home[00:01:21]
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own[00:01:25]
Give him a fire in his heart give him a light in his eyes[00:01:30]
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies[00:01:34]
On the eve of his 21st birthday he set out on his own[00:01:43]
He was 30 years and runnin' when he found his way back home[00:01:47]
Ridin' a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart[00:01:51]
Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start[00:01:55]
Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone[00:02:01]
Some say he was a lawyer some say he was a john[00:02:05]
There was somethin' in the city that he said he couldn't breathe[00:02:10]
And there was somethin' in the country that he said he couldn't leave[00:02:14]
Oh montana give this child a home[00:02:19]
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own[00:02:23]
Give him a fire in his heart give him a light in his eyes[00:02:27]
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies[00:02:32]
Now some say he was crazy and some glad that he is gone[00:02:55]
But some of us miss him and we'll try to carry on[00:02:59]
Giving a voice to the forest giving a voice to the dawn[00:03:03]
Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on[00:03:07]
Oh montana give this child a home[00:03:12]
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own[00:03:17]
Give him a fire in his heart give him a light in his eyes[00:03:21]
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies[00:03:25]
Oh montana give this child a home[00:03:32]
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own[00:03:36]
Give him a fire in his heart give him a light in his eyes[00:03:40]
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies[00:03:45]
