He was born in the Bitterroot valley in the early morning rain
wild geese over the water headin north and home again
bringing the first taste of the spring
his mother took him to her breast and softly she did sing

Oh Montana, give this child a home
give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies

His mother died that summer and he never learnd to cry
he never knew his father and never did ask why
he never knew the answers that would make an easy way
but he learnd to know the wilderness and to be a man that away

His mother brother took him in to a family and his home
gave him a hand that he could lean on, and strgth to call his own
and he learned to be a farmer and he learned to make a stand

Oh Montana, give this child a home
give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies

On the eve of his 21st birthday he set out on his own
he was 30 year and running when he found his way back home ridin a storm across the mountains and aching in his heart
said he came to turn the pages and make a brand new start

Oh Montana, give this child a home
give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies

Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone
some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a John
there was something in the city that he said he coudn't breathe
and there was something in the country that he said he coudn't leave

Oh Montana, give this child a home
give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies

Oh Montana , give this child a home
give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own
give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his
eyes
give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana skies
