My love is a river where the white waters pour
I've hunted and trapped her through the Gates of Ladore
She sings through a curtain of cold mountain rain
Where I dug her bright silver in the high Coeur d'Alene
ย
She'll never be mine
She'll never be mine
I've won all her treasures so simple and fine
I guess she'll never be mine
ย
My love's a cantina where I drink with my friends;
I've called her Dolores or sometimes Cheyenne;
I followed her begging all over the West;
My love is a headlight on the midnight express
ย
She'll never be mine
She'll never be mine
I've won all her treasures so simple and fine
I guess she'll never be mine
ย
My love is Montana and the high Douglas fir
Many long summers I've laboured for her
My love is the wind rows of dry autumn corn
That grew on the land where my children were born
ย
She'll never be mine
She'll never be mine
I've won all her treasures so simple and fine
I guess she'll never be mine
ย
My love is the life that a boomer will lead
You bought her with lies and you chained her with greed
My love is a dreamer, I'll follow the dream
You say she's a beggar, I say she's a queen
ย
Some day she'll be mine
Some day she'll be mine
I've won all her treasures so simple and fine
I know some day she'll be mine
