Montana Men Lyrics - Singles - Hunter & The Bear

I was born among the hills 

Never far from the sea 

Raised a farmer on this green green land 

No work for me 

Found that I loved 

Made a home to keep us warm 

I was young when they sent for me 

then I was gone 

I'm bound for Montana 

On a big ship heading West 

Just a boy from the islands 

Getting paid to do my best 

I remember the mountains 

And I pray my families safe 

But I got years left of working 

Before I'll be home again 

Work a long day in the summer 

On the prairie in the sun 

Walk for miles on this hard grey land 

The day is done 

Starry nights by the fire 

Sing a song to tame the flock 

Disappear to my cold cold bed 

beneath the rock 

Seven years I've been away 

From the Shelter of the glen 

And I still dream of my sweet sweet heart 

Now and again 

For the time I need the money 

Got to stay and pay my dues 

Hope one day I return 

Return to you
