Seaching for the sunlight 

On this winter's day. 

Here in old Missoula, 

They locked the sun away. 

Come tomorow morning 

I'll head for the Bozeman round 

And it's goodbye to old Missoula, sleepy town. 

I met a girl named Rosie, 

Sweet as she could be. 

But I guess that Rosie 

Didn't have eyes for me. 

Time it waits for no-one 

Lord, why did I hesitate? 

And it's goodbye to old Missoula, a day too late. 

Clouds that hang on the mountain 

They make me lonesome inside. 

And these four walls that surround me 

They leave me no place to hide. 

The show in this town is over 

Or maybe it never began 

And it's goodbye to old Missoula, I've done all I can.



Goodbye, Rosie - you'll never know 

And time says my love will pass 

But if I can remember your smiling face 

That's all of time that I ask 

The show in this town is over 

Or maybe it never began 

And it's goodbye to old Missoula, I've done all I can. 

Goodbye to old Missoula, 

Goodbye to old Missoula, 

Goodbye to old Missoula, sleepy town.
