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
