[Chorus]
BaCld Butte, Bald Butte so lofty and so C7high
CarFry me to Bald Butte
Where the plains wrap round the sCky
You can dGig a hole on Bald Butte when I dCie
[Verse 1]
HeCnry was born on Bald Butte
A paint horse he did rC7ide
WeFll he roped him in Alberta
Broke him on the Montana lCine
ToGre him a trail through the northwest countrysCide
[Verse 2]
HeCnry took to stealing
Robbing on the CP RC7ail
HFe got the devil on his shoulders
And the law man on his taCil
You better riGde, Henry ride
You ain't got no friends to go your bCail
[Verse 3]
WeCll he rode across the Grey Back camp
Up in Cypress HiC7lls
ThFey said they left the US nation
On the day that Richmond fCell
ThGey whistled Dixie and set him up a stCill
[Verse 4]
HeCnry woke the next morn
Like a corpse from the grC7ave
HaFlf blind and twice as haggard
He took a cast iron to the brCain
They stGole his horse and the rifle that shared his Cname
[Verse 5]
AnCd he tracked them former Johnny Rebs
Through the prairie and the trC7ees
UFp old Castle Mountain
Cross the river WapiCti
LGow and behold, what do you think he seCes
I see my paint
I see my riFfle that shares my naCme
I see them mGen that done me wrong
Lord, I'm gonna do them just the sCame
[Verse 6]
HeCnry grabbed his rifle
Up off of the gC7round
He kissed the eFver-loving barrel
And he shot them old boys dCown
They hGit the dirt, he revelled in the sCoumd
[Verse 7]
NoCw he's back up in the saddle
Back up on the C7top
When he fFelt that southern slug
Chew a hole right through his gCut
He tGhought he killed them all
But he had nCot
[Verse 9]
ThCat paint took off a running
Through the water and the C7mud
No eFarthly force in this whole world
Could stop that 'Berta sCtud
HeGnry sat there laughing up his bClood
ACnd he was singing
[Chorus]
CBald Butte, Bald Butte so lofty and so hiC7gh
CaFrry me to Bald Butte
Where the plains wrap round the the sCky
You can dGig a hole on Bald Butte when I dCie
