1.Bald eagles back in the cottonwood tree

The old brown hills are just about bare

Springtime sighing all along the creek

Magpies ganging up everywhere

Sun shines warm on the eastern slope

March came in like a lamb for a change

Gary's pulling calves at the old stampede

We made it through another on the northern range

Lonnie's pulling calves at the top of the world

We made it through another on the northern range
