Lay Me Down in Montana Lyrics

When God hand holds my soul to heaven

When my body grows cold and breathless

I will hear the angel hymn a'sounding

Pure as the water running off a mountain

So lay me down

In an old splintered pine box

Hammer them nails hard

So they don't come off

Dig that ground for my final sleep

Let the wild horses run over me

Crown my cross with a faded red bandana

Lay me down in Montana

Lay me down in Montana

Raise that bottle to my memory

Talk about old times till it's empty

But don't you cry for me down here

Cause I'll be knocking down new frontier

So lay me down

In an old splintered pine box

Hammer them nails hard

So they don't come off

Dig that ground for my final sleep

Let the wild horses run over me

Crown my cross with a faded red bandana

Lay me down in Montana

Lay me down in Montana

So when the sky turns winter

And my stone can't be found 

I hope one heart remembers

This I once walked this ground 

So lay me down

In an old splintered pine box

Hammer them nails hard

So they don't come off

Dig that ground for my final sleep

Let the wild horses run over me

Crown my cross with a faded red bandana

Lay me down in Montana

Lay me down in Montana
