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
M－O－N－T－A－N－A，
Montana，I love you．
Montana Melody
I long to be in the places that I see
in the pictures of my dreams
Where there’s mountains full of trees，
meadows carpeted in green
Silent，snow－fall，clear running streams．
Where the bear－grass blooms
In the spring－time of the year，
And the larch（落叶松属植物）turn gold in the Fall
Where there’s deer，elk（［动］麋鹿，软鞣粗皮）and antelope（羚羊）
Beaver［海狸（毛皮）］，bears and birds and the yippin’
coyotes（一种产于北美大草原的小狼，山狗）
serenade（唱小夜曲）them all．
CHORUS
Yes，there’s no place like Montana，
the Big Sky country，my home．
A place to set my spirit free，
a Rocky Mountain melody，
These things are a part of me，
Montana，Montana，my home．
Charlie Russell clouds paint sunsets in the West，
in colors of red，blue and gold．
Snow－capped peaks reach endless to the sky，
and the grain－fields with gentle breezes flow．
There’s high mountain lakes，Missouri river breaks
and the open plains，where the buffalo
（〈美〉［动］美洲野牛）used to roam．
It’s a cowboy（〈美〉牛仔，牧童，美国西部牧人）
song，it’s where Indians belong
God’s country，my home sweet home．
I had a dream，of how Heaven’s s’posed to be，
and when I die，that’s where I want to go．
Cause there’s mountains full of trees，meadows（草地，牧场）
carpeted in green，silent snowfall，clear running streams．
CHORUS
