Have you ever walked the lonesome hills
And heard the curlew's cry
Or seen the raven black as night
Upon a windswept sky
Parson, I'm a maverick, just runnin' loose an' grazin'
Eatin' where's th' greenest grass an' drinkin' where I choose
Had to rustle in my youth an' never had no raisin'
Wasn't never halter-broke an' I ain't much to lose
Used to sleepin' in a bag an' livin' in a slicker
Church folks never branded me -- I don't know as they tried
Wish you'd say a prayer for me an' try to make a dicker
For the best they'll give me when I cross the Big Divide
Have you ever walked the lonesome hills
And heard the curlew's cry
Or seen the raven black as night
Upon a windswept sky
I ain't corr rode straight an' square an' never grabbed for leather
Never roped a crippled steer or rode a sore-backed horse
I've bucked wind an' rain an' every sort of weather
Had my tilts with A. K. Hall an' Captain R. E. Morse
Don't hide nothin' from 'em, whether it be sweet or bitter
I'll stay on th' range, but if I'm shut outside I'll abide it like a man because I ain't no quitter
I ain't going to change just when I cross the big Divide
Have you ever walked the lonesome hills
And heard the curlew's cry
Or seen the raven black as night
Upon a windswept sky
I ain't corralled a night in more than twenty
I'm rawboned an' rough an' ain't much for looks
I don't need much grief because I've had plenty
I don't know how bad I am 'cause I ain't kept no books
When th' Roundup comes for all us human critters
Just corral me with my kind an' run a brand on me
I don't want to be corralled with hypocrites an' quitters
Brand me just for what I am -- an' I'm just what you see
I just want to meet th' boss an' face him honest-eyed
Show him just what chips I got an' shove 'em in for cashin'
That's what you can tell 'em when I cross the Big Divide
Have you ever walked the lonesome hills
And heard the curlew's cry
Or seen the raven black as night
Upon a windswept sky
Have you ever walked the lonesome hills
And heard the curlew's cry
Or seen the raven black as night
Upon a windswept sky
