Ode to Wilf Carter 
Diamond Joe White


G                               C              G
Wilf Carter, Wilf Carter I can still hear ya singing
G                              D
I can hear yer guitar gently playing
G                                      C             G
Cause the times right for singin those old country songs
G                               D
And recall what its like to be playin


Chorus:

G                      C         G
Like the 32 wonderful years, my friend
G         EM                  D
And a strawberry roan just for me
G                   C                    G
Won’t cha play us another song just like before
G                   D         G
And bring back them old memories


G                         C                 G
Wilf Carter Wilf Carter you came out to the west
G                                D
Singin songs about the prairie country
G                           C          G
But all cowboy heroes paid night and a rest
G                  D          G
And a yodelling in close harmony


Chorus

G                             C                 G
Wilf Carter, Wilf Carter some called ya Montana Slim
G                        D
Singin wherever they’ll hear
G                               C            G
Both sides of the border you sang with the best
G                        D              G
But like all of us your times drawing near

Chorus
