Many a years has come gone Since I wandered from my home In those Oklahoma hills where was born. Many a page of life has turned, Many a lesson I have learned; Well, feel like in those hills I still belong.
'Way down yonder in the Indian Nation Ridin' my pony on the reservation, those Oklahoma hills where I was born. Now, 'way yonder in the Indian Nation, A cowboy's life is my occupation, In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.
But as I sit here today, Many miles I away From place I rode my pony through the draw, While the oak and blackjack trees Kiss the playful prairie breeze, In those Oklahoma hills where was born.
Now as I turn life page To the land of the great Osage In those Oklahoma hills where I was born, the black oil it rolls and flows And the snow-white cotton grows In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.
