MY
SADDLE'S IN MONTANA
(chorus)
My saddle's in Montana
My heart is back there too
Send me back to Montana
I've got these cowboy blues
Montana, Montana
Big sky country so free
I pray the Lord will guide me back
To the place where I long to be
-
(verse)
Well the city is made for other fellas
There just ain't nothin' to see
Send me back to Montana's
Wide open spaces for me
I
walked into a cafe
I ordered me a steak
One bite is all that it took friends
My stomach is still at ache
I
looked at the tab on the counter
Two dollars and forty cents
I didn't have any money
So they put me behind the fence
Thirty
days in the jailhouse
A payin' for my wrong
And every day in the jailhouse
They heard me a singin' this song
-
(chorus)
My saddle's in Montana
My heart is back there too
Send me back to Montana
I've got these cowboy blues
Montana, Montana
Big sky country so free
I pray the Lord will guide me back
To the place where I long to be
-
(verse)
Then one day the warden
He walked up and he said "Son,
We're sending' you back to Montana
Back to your hat and your gun"
He
handed me a ticket
One way on the north bound train
And said "As far as this jailhouse
I hope I don't see you again"
I
said "Oh yes you can betcha'
Sure as that train engines purrs
I'm headin' back to Montana
Back to my chaps and my spurs"
-
(chorus)
My saddle's in Montana
My heart is back there too
Send me back to Montana
I've got these cowboy blues
Montana, Montana
Big sky country so free
I pray the Lord will guide me back
To the place where I long to be.
