Lyrics by Charles C. Cohan
Melody by Joseph E. Howard
Tell me of that Treasure State
Story always new,
Tell of its beauties grand
And its hearts so true.
Mountains of sunset fire
The land I love the best
Let me grasp the hand of one
From out the golden West.
Refrain:
Montana, Montana, Glory of the West
Of all the states from coast to coast,
You're easily the best
Montana, Montana, Where skies are always blue
Montana, Montana, I love you.
Each country has its flow'r;
Each one plays a part,
Each bloom brings a longing hope
To some lonely heart.
Bitter Root to me is dear
Growing in my land
Sing then that gloriuos air
The one I understand.
Repeat Refrain:
