[Verse 1]
                Em
My name is Bob Fudge
I was born in Texas
            Am
Lampasas County
Back during the war
                  Em
Small Pox and Comanches
Took most of my family
  Am
Left my poor mother,

        G        Em
My brothers, and me
So I headed North To ride for the Blockers
                        Am
They were contractin' herds
On the Montana range
          Em
In the Spring of the year '82
We left ol' Lampasas
             Am
With two thousand steers

G                     Em
For the Little Big Horn
[Chorus]
                C
Crossing our trails

                         Am
There were many great rivers

              C
All to be crossed

                        D
Not a bridge would we find
[Verse 2]
                      Em
In the cold rolling waters
And the wild plunging cattle
                    Am
There was many a young man

    G                Em
Took leave of his life
[Chorus] C G Am Am G C Em [Verse 3] Well we crossed at Doan's Store Into the Indian nation
                        Am
Saw the blood on the rocks
Where those cowboys had died
                    Em
Then it's on Fort Dodge
On the Arkansas River
          Am
Where gamblers and the whores

  G               Em
All welcomed us there
[Chorus]
                           C
And the great snowcapped peaks

                      Am
Are on our left side now

            C
For many miles

                      D
In the great silent land
[Verse 4]
                     Em
When I first saw Montana
I knew I would love her
                           Am
I would ride her great ranges

           G          Em
'Til the end of my days
[Chorus] C G Am G C Em [Verse 5] But she's all cut-and-dry now And the trails are all gone
                           Am
I've been to Yellowstone Park
In an automobile
                             Em
But I can still see 'em swimming
Boys, I can still hear 'em running
                      Am
I came off of the trails
When cowboys was king
                 Em
My name is Bob Fudge
I died in Montana C G Am G C Em Am
