Bob Fudge

[Primeira Parte]

                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       G
Left my poor mother
                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      G
With two thousand steers
                   Em
For the Little Big Horn

                C
Crossing our trails
                         Am
There were many great rivers
              C
All to be crossed
                        D
Not a bridge would we find

[Segunda Parte]
                      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

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      G
Where gamblers and the whores
                 Em
All welcomed us there

[Refrão]
                         C
And the great snowcapped peaks
                 Am
Are on our left side now
         C
For many miles
                   D
In the great silent land

[Quarta Parte]
                    Em
When I first saw Montana

I knew I would love her
                           Am   G
I would ride her great ranges
                    Em
'Til the end of my days

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   G
I came off of the trails
                 Em
When cowboys was king

My name is Bob Fudge

I died in Montana
