[Chorus]
C C7
Bald Butte, Bald Butte so lofty and so high
F
Carry me to Bald Butte
C
Where the plains wrap round the sky
G C
You can dig a hole on Bald Butte when I die
[Verse 1]
C
Henry was born on Bald Butte
C7
A paint horse he did ride
F
Well he roped him in Alberta
C
Broke him on the Montana line
G C
Tore him a trail through the northwest countryside
[Verse 2]
C
Henry took to stealing
C7
Robbing on the CP Rail
F
He got the devil on his shoulders
C
And the law man on his tail
G
You better ride, Henry ride
C
You ain't got no friends to go your bail
[Verse 3]
C
Well he rode across the Grey Back camp
C7
Up in Cypress Hills
F
They said they left the US nation
C
On the day that Richmond fell
G C
They whistled Dixie and set him up a still
[Verse 4]
C
Henry woke the next morn
C7
Like a corpse from the grave
F
Half blind and twice as haggard
C
He took a cast iron to the brain
G C
They stole his horse and the rifle that shared his name
[Verse 5]
C
And he tracked them former Johnny Rebs
C7
Through the prairie and the trees
F
Up old Castle Mountain
