Brenn Hill Bruneau Canyon Lyrics

Verse 1:
I spent a night in the bunkhouse
Down on Sheep Creek at Simplot #2
Those black rock cliffs were all around us
And the sky was a starry midnight blue
Woke with the sunrise in the mornin'
Desert sparrows singin' through the brush
I saddled Jasper in the lantern light
And prayed I would make a hand that he could trust

Chorus:
In Bruneau Canyon
Springtime brandin'
Lonesome as the windy ‘Wyhee plains
North of Elko
Southeast Idaho
The cold gray sky that never rains
I thank God some things never change
Verse 2:
Ten thousand acres to a pasture
We gathered heifers until noon With their babies a bawlin' ‘long beside them
They'd feel the brandin' iron soon

Owyhee Mountains on the skyline
Horse sweat and leather on the wind
Lone buckaroos driftin' through the sagebrush
I prayed the day would never end

Verse 3:
We branded through the afternoon
Ate lunch out on the dusty desert ground
Then me and Elvin trailed some old dry heifers
Back to the old Sheep Creek corrals

I loaded Jasper in the Sooner
And bid my new found pardners Adios
And I think about them to this day
But it's the deep, dark Bruneau Canyon I miss most
