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
