Bald eagles back in the cottonwood tree, the old brown hills are just about bare.
Springtime's sighing all along the creek, magpies ganging up everywhere.
Sunshine's warm on the eastern slope, March came in like a lamb [D] for a change.
Gary's pulling calves up the old stampede, we made it through another on the northern range.
Lonnie's pulling calves at the top of the world, we made it through another on the northern range.
Well the big chinook flew in last [G] evening, was warm and strong in the western [A] sea.
[D] Heard his soon water running everywhere,
[G] hell it could run fast enough [A] for me.
[Bm] Bruton is sleeping [G] in the afternoon sun, [Bm] she's shedding [D] hair [Ab] everywhere, time [A] for a change.
[D] George's pulling calves at the key bar wide, [G] he made it through another on [A]
the northern range.
[D] Wally's pulling calves at the little e, [G] he made it through another on the northern [A]
[Bm] range.
