Howdy, Here goes with "Yellowstone Winds" from the same source as "October Winds."
YELLOWSTONE WINDS (Bill Staines)
There's a star that's shining bright On the Teton range tonight There's a lonesome cloud flying out across the moon. There's a country song so sweet That reaches to the street Through the hoots and hollers of an old run-down saloon
Yellowstone winds, they're calling me back again, "Come here to me my friend," they whisper to my soul. Piney smoke in the frosty air, Cattle grazing all around you there, Snow fields on the mountains fair Lie silent in the cold.
I can feel the morning sun And see that old Snake River run And I remember all the legends and the tales. Old Hoback's in my dreams As he wanders up his streams And stops to stand a mark beside the trail.
Yellowstone winds, they're . . .
There's a young coyote that calls From the steep high country walls As she ranges in the shadows of the trees. With her cunning and her care, Prospecting in the air, She searches for a scent upon the breeze.
