[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
And won't you listen to the wind
Mother Nature's violin
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
And the wind whipped the granite above me
And blew the tumbleweeds clean through my soul
[Verse 3]
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 cattle
Can bring out the best in a man
