Montana Men Lyrics

I was born among the hills

Never far from the sea

Raised a farmer on this green green land

No work for me

Found that I loved

Made a home to keep us warm

I was young when they sent for me

Then I was gone

I'm bound for Montana

On a big ship heading West

Just a boy from the islands

Getting paid to do my best

I remember the mountains

And I pray my families safe

But I got years left of working

Before I'll be home again

Work a long day in the summer

On the prairie in the sun

Walk for miles on this hard grey land

The day is done

Starry nights by the fire

Sing a song to tame the flock

Disappear to my cold cold bed

Beneath the rock

Seven years I've been away

From the Shelter of the glen

And I still dream of my sweet sweet heart

Now and again

For the time I need the money

Got to stay and pay my dues

Hope one day I return

Return to you
