[00:04.19] He was born in the bitterroot valley in the early morning rain
[00:08.61] Wild geese over the water headin' north and home again
[00:12.56] Bringin' a warm wind from the south
[00:14.58] Bringin' the first taste of the spring
[00:17.13] His mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing
[00:21.19]
[00:22.58] Oh montana, give this child a home
[00:26.69] Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
[00:31.02] Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
[00:35.42] Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
[00:43.24]
[00:44.64] His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry
[00:48.85] He never knew his father and he never did ask why
[00:53.31] He never knew the answers that would make an easy way
[00:57.59] But he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way
[01:01.84]
[01:02.92] His mother's brother took him in to family and his home
[01:07.23] Gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own
[01:11.64] And he learned to be a farmer and he learned to love the land
[01:15.98] And he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand
[01:20.27]
[01:21.32] Oh montana, give this child a home
[01:25.88] Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
[01:30.04] Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
[01:34.34] Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
[01:41.69]
[01:43.16] On the eve of his 21st birthday he set out on his own
[01:47.34] He was 30 years and runnin' when he found his way back home
[01:51.58] Ridin' a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart
[01:55.85] Said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start
[02:00.38]
[02:01.42] Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone
[02:05.69] Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a john
[02:10.00] There was somethin' in the city that he said he couldn't breathe
[02:14.21] And there was somethin' in the country that he said he couldn't leave
[02:19.46] Oh montana, give this child a home
[02:23.71] Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
[02:27.97] Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
[02:32.34] Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
[02:39.79]
[02:55.01] Now some say he was crazy and some glad that he is gone
[02:59.36] But some of us miss him and we'll try to carry on
[03:03.24] Giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn
[03:07.49] Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on
[03:11.99]
[03:12.94] Oh montana, give this child a home
[03:17.20] Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
[03:21.47] Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
[03:25.90] Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
[03:32.30] Oh montana, give this child a home
[03:36.51] Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
[03:40.66] Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
[03:45.10] Give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild montana skies
