1
He was born in the Bitterroot Valley in the early mornin' rain
2
Wild geese over the water, headin' north and home again
3
Bringin' a warm wind from the south, bringin' the first taste of the spring
4
His mother took him to her breast, softly she did sing
5
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
6
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
7
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
8
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
9
His mother died that summer an' he never learned to cry
10
He never knew his father, he never did ask why
11
And he never knew the answers that would make an easy way
12
But he learned to know the wilderness an' to be a man that way
13
His mother's brother took him in to his family and his home
14
Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
15
And he learned to be a farmer an' he learned to love the land
16
An' he learned to read the seasons an' he learned to make a stand
17
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
18
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
19
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
20
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
21
On the eve of his twenty-first birthday, he set out on his own
22
He was thirty years and runnin' when he found his way back home
23
Ridin' a storm across the mountains an' an achin' in his heart
24
Said, he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
25
Now he never told the story of the time that he was gone
26
Some say, he was a lawyer, some say he was a John
27
There was something in the city that he said, he couldn't breathe
28
There was something in the country that he said, he couldn't leave
29
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
30
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
31
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
32
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
33
Now some say, he was crazy an' some are glad he's gone
34
Some of us will miss him, we'll try to carry on
35
Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn
36
Giving a voice to the wilderness an' the land that he lived on
37
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
38
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
39
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
40
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
41
Oh, Montana, give this child a home
42
Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
43
Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
44
Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
