Paroles de Ol' Double Diamond

The ol' Double Diamond lay out east of Dubois in the land of the buffalo And the auctioner's gavel it rapped and it rattled As I watched the ol' Double Diamond go And won't you listen to the wind mother nature's violin When I first hired on at the ol' Double Diamond I was a damn poor excuse for a man I never learned how to aim while my spirt was tame I didn't know all the cards in my hand And the wind whipped the granite above me And blew the tumbleweeds clean through my soul Well I fought her winters and I busted her horses I took more than I thought I could stand But the battles with the mountains and the cattle Will bring out the best in a man I guess a sailor needs an ocean and a mama her babies to hold But I need the plains of Wyoming in the land of the buffalo But now she's sellin' out and I'm movin' on But I'm leaving with more than I came Cause I got this pony and he ain't for sale and I've got this song to sing I've got a new range to find I've got a new knot to tie In a country where cowboys are king We turned tails to the wind at the ol' Double Diamond And took off down through the sage And won't you listen to the wind mother nature's violin
