Jerry Crutchfield - The Ol' Double Diamond lyrics

[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 [Refrain] I guess a sailor needs an ocean And a mama her babies to hold But I need the plains of Wyoming In the land of the buffalo [Verse 4] But now she's sellin' out And I'm movin' on But I'm leaving with more than I came 'Cause I got this pony And he ain't for sale And I've got this song to sing I've got a new range to find I've got a new knot to tie In a country where cowboys are king We turned tails to the wind At the ol' Double Diamond And took off down through the sage [Refrain] And won't you listen to the wind Mother Nature's violin
