Turner School

Turner, Montana

Montana Farmers
by 9 - 12 grade

Dusty boots and worn out jeans

calloused hands and broken dreams

workin' hard just trying to make ends meet.

Weathered face and a farmer's tan

working hard to keep the land

sacrifice ourselves so others eat.

The price is up, the wheat is down

it's too dang wet to make a round

we pray each day the sun comes shining through

broke down truck, we head to town

all my neighbors hanging 'round

we don't wait there's other things to do.

chorus

Farming ain't for everyone

always work, ain't too much fun

wakin' up each day at the crack of dawn

workin' for a little pay

thankful for each sunny day

Montana farmers just keep moving on.

Feedin' cattle, pitchin' hay

freezing every winter day

hoping spring will soon becoming through

pushing snow, breaking ice

spring is gonna be really nice

a brand new year, everything is new.

Just Like a Cowboy

by 3-6 grade Turner School

Once there was a cowboy

who lived out on the plains

with his cowboy boots and ragged hat

and hands on the reins.

He rode a wild mustang

across the wholly west

delivering the mail

for the pony express.

chorus

He was just like a cowboy

sitting on his saddle all day long

just like a cowboy

singin' his cowboy song.

He rode like the wind

they say he was the best

one of many cowboys

conquering the west.

he rode for many miles

without no sleep or rest

riding hard and workin'

for the pony express.
