For many long years I've played a lone hand
I rode my horse in many strange lands
But then one day I stopped for awhile
For two blue eyes and a sunny smile.

   So howl away you old coyote
   I hear your sad and lonesome song
   It's calling me back to old Montana
   Back to those hills where I belong.

One day I rode away from home
I'm a'coming back and it won't be long
I'll see you again in a little while
You're my darling sweet my sunny smile.
