The Old Double Diamond Lyrics
Now, the old Double Diamond lay out east of Dubois
In the land of the buffalo
And the auctioneer`s gavel, how it rapped and it rattledAs I watched the old Double Diamond go
Won`t you listen to the wind
Mother Nature`s violin
When I first hired on the old Double Diamond
I was a dammed poor excuse for a man
I never learned how to aim when the spirit was tame
Couldn`t see all the cards in my hand
And the wind whipped the granite above me
Blew the tumble weeds clean through my soul
Well I fought her winters and I busted her horses
And I took more than I thought I could stand
But the battles with the mountains and cattle
Seemed to bring out the best in a man
I guess a sailor, he needs an ocean
And a mama, her babies to hold
I need the hills of Wyoming
In the land of the buffalo
Now shes sellin` out, I`m movin` on

But I`m leavin` with more than I came
`Caus I`ve got this saddle and it ain`t for sale
And I got this song to sing
Find a new range to ride, new knots to tie
In a country where cowboys are king
I turn my tail to the wind and the old Double Diamond
Disappeared into the sage
