Old Double Diamond

Now the old Double Diamond, lay out east of Duboise In the land ........ of the buffalo And the auctioneers gavel, how it rapped and it rattled As I watched the old Double Diamond go Won't you listen to the wind Mother natures Vio lin When I first hired on, to the old Double Diamond I was a damn poor excuse for a man Never learned how to aim, when the spirit was tame Couldn't see all the cards in my hand And the wind whipped the granite above me Blew the tumble weeds clean through my soul Well I've fought her winters and I've busted her horses And I took more than I thought I could stand But the battles with the mountains and cattle Seem to bring out the best in a man I guess a sailor, he needs an ocean And a mama her babies to hold But I need the hills of Wyoming In the land ......... of the buffalo Now shes sellin out, and I'm movin on But I'm leavin with more than I came Cause I've got my saddle and it ain't for sale And I've got this song to sing Got to find new range to ride and new knots to tie In a country where cowboys are king I turn my tail to the wind, and the old Double Diamond Disappears in to the sage.......
