I've been ramblin' out Montana way Tryin' to live on a cow punchers pay Been changin' them dams in the new summer hay Irrigating alfalfa for six bucks a day I'll tell you my story I'd be on my way But the savings are slow to come on six bucks a day Out here in the fields while the water runs down With the sun high above me and the sky all around I'm dreamin' my dreams of the Canada line And the places I'd go if the money was mine I'll tell you my story... Come Saturday night well you draw out some pay Then you go into town just to throw it away And when the end of the month comes rolling your way Well you ain't got much left on six bucks a day I'll tell you my story... Now if I drew out my time and I paid off my debts I couldn't get to Great Falls on what I have left But I've got me no choice when them diesel horns blow Come a wind from the highway I got to pack up and go Yeah money or none at all they can't hold me this way For my blankets are rolled and tied and I'm leavin' today
