Story always new,
Tell of its beauties grand
And its hearts so true.

Let me grasp the hand of one
From out the golden West

Of all the states from coast to coast, You're easily the best

Each country has its flow'r;
Each one plays a part,
Each bloom brings a longing hope
To some lonely heart.
Bitterroot to me is dear
Growing in my land
Sing then that glorious air
The one I understand.
