Lyrics
- 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
- 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
- M-O-N-T-A-N-A
- 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.
- Bitterroot to me is dear
- Growing in my land
- Sing then that glorious air
- The one I understand.
- 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!
