OKLAHOMA HILLS
(Recorded by:Hank Thompson) (Died 2007 at age 82)
(1961)
(G) (G7)
Many months have come & gone,
(C)
Since I wandered from my home
(D7) (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.
(D7) (G) (G7)
Many a page of life has turned
(C)
Many a lesson I have learned
(D7) (G)
But I feel like in those hills I still belong.
(Chorus)
Way down yonder in the Indian Nation
(C)
I rode my pony on the reservation
(D7) (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born
Way down yonder in the Indian Nation
(C)
A cowboy's life is my occupation
(D7) (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.
(G7) (C)
But as I sit here today, Many miles I am away
(D7) (G)
From the place I rode my pony through the draw
(D7) (G) (G7)
Where the oak and blackjack trees
(C)
Kiss the playful prairie breeze
(D7) (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.
(G7) (C)
Now as I turn life a page, To the land of the great Osage
(D7) (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.
(D7) (G) (G7)
Where the black oil rolls & flows
(C)
And the snow white cotton grows
(D7) (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.
