How can I ever thank you You were this cowboy's only friend Twas a cold chill blowin' That woke us on the eve of '82 That desert snow skipped across the rangeland And killed the sparks keeping our blood blue Ol' Bill sat there beneath the moonlight The finest herding dog I'd ever known Never gripped a calf nor stole my provisions Just ran the herd and put time on his bone On this rocky hill I'll lay you So you can always drive 'em in How can I ever thank you You were this cowboy's only friend Howling winds cut through like a buck knife But Ol' Bill he just sits there still as stone We push on down the rocky canyon wall To the fertile grassy feeding grounds below So I hitch my paint and take rest on a sagebrush And toss a rib to Ol' Bill for his job When through the brush I saw lunge before me The biggest mountain cat I'd ever saw Well the mountain cat dragged me across the bedrock And from my saddle my old gun did fell Well that mountain cat sent the herd a running All except that herding dog named Bill For he bit that cat and cut me short of dying But Ol' Bill fought and drew a different end That mountain cat vanished up the canyon Leaving me to bury my best friend On this rocky hill I'll lay you So you can always drive 'em in How can I ever thank you You were this cowboy's only friend
