One night I left for old Virginia
Said goodbye but not a tear I cried
And I strolled out to that lonesome roadside
While the moon it cast a ghostly light
Now my ride it took me through Montana
As the trees they turned to rolling hills
And I left the snow capped Rocky Mountains
That I’d known for the best years of my life
She was standing by an old grey aspen
Her hair was long long than before
When we’d met she gave me a canyon
That I knew we would never fill
Like a door I passed through the Midwest
Made my way through the straw bales piled high
Mr Twain your stories aren’t forgotten
Of the mighty Mississippi running wide
Chorus
But my dreams soon they were broken
By the rain and the distant thunder fell
Now sometimes I still think of finding
You again but I know I never will
