Headed up to the northland
With a satchel full of loot
Looking for a game to pass my time
I found that game just outside of Butte.
Snakeman sat beside me
I heard his name around
He said Ol' Montana Red Dog is the name of the game
Lay your money down.
You get five cards on the table
One more if you stay
Just match your draw and beat the man
But if the man beats you
Then you gotta pay.
Ooh, Ol' Montana Red Dog
It's the hottest game in town
Ooh, Ol' Montana Red Dog
It'll bite you when you're down.
As night time turned to morning
There was time for one more shot
To win back all my money
You know the stakes were high
A thousand dollar pot
You see my first three cards were aces
With a seven and an eight
So I had to stay with the Snakeman
And as luck would go, he was dealt a straight.
Ooh, Ol' Montana Red Dog
It's the hottest game in town
Ooh, Ol' Montana Red Dog
It will bite you when you're down.
Well you win some and you lose some
But I didn't match my pair
The Snakeman's straight beat my hand
And I left that town
With a satchel full of air.
Ooh, Ol' Montana Red Dog
It's the hottest game in town
Ooh, Ol' Montana Red Dog
It will bite you when you're down.
