Idaho Mountain Song

Oh, Treasure Valley

I've been missing your plains too long

Sweet ponderosa

Cresting them snowy mountain tops

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song

When I was a young boy

We hopped a stage and set out for the West

Grueling was the trail

Wagon wheels carving graves for the dead

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song

We built a little homestead

Made of wood and stone we carved from the hills

Soon I was a young man

And I went up north to mine in the fields

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song

All I found was trouble

Drinking and gambling away my finds

I sold my rusty shovel

And I hopped a southbound stage on my last dime

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song

I built a log cabin

In the heart of the Payette was my home

I thought I'd find a woman

But besides my mare this old soul lives alone

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song

Blue Salmon River

You're the blood that flows through my veins

Gem of the Union

Idaho, my home you'll remain

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song

Oh, Treasure Valley

I've been missing your plains too long

Sweet ponderosa

Cresting them snowy mountain tops

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song

And I'm singing this Idaho mountain song
