Way out in North Dakota, a long ways from my home
Well I have been gone rambling, been rambling all alone
I woke in Minnesota, my sleep was fair and fine
My goal, it is Montana and I'm making real good time
Well I've grown to love my lonesome ways, I take the old High Line
Well I walk, I drift, I wander, I am the hard tramp kind
I'm a lone wolf, I'm a lone wolf babe
I'm a lone wolf, I go alone
I'm a lone wolf, I'm a lone wolf babe
I'm a lone wolf, all alone
Well down in California, I worked this land of mine
I've been driving cattle for the brand, drinking is my crime
Night and day I worked alone, my weary bones they grind
My hands are chopped from bailing
Hay and I'm wrapped in old barn twine
My good horse up and died one day, she had enough of trying
Now I'm old and turning grey, I've been the hard luck kind
I'm a lone wolf, I'm a lone wolf babe
I'm a lone wolf, I go alone
I'm a lone wolf, I'm a lone wolf babe
I'm a lone wolf, all alone
Way up in Colorado my home's up in the woods
And all the folks in Boulder County, they say I am no good
All my life I've worked the forge, life it is my trade
And when I'm not working hard, I'm bound to misbehave
Like a lone wolf, I'm a lone wolf babe
I'm a lone wolf, I go alone
I'm a lone wolf, I'm a lone wolf babe
I'm a lone wolf, all alone
