THREE PRAIRIE SONGS
LYRICS
She worked all day and slept all night
But young folk now are the other way
They’re up all night and they [sleep all day.
She wore hoop skirts and bustles too
When infants came and times got bad,
She stuck right on to old Granddad.
where the hooves of the horses shall fall
Where the echoing tread falls over my head,
and a cowboy will carry me on
where the hooves of the horses shall fall
Where the echoing tread falls over my head,
and a cowboy will carry me on
While holding down my claim
And my vittles are not always
Served the best
And the mice play shyly ’round me
As I nestle down to rest
In my little old sod shanty in the west
Ad the windows have no glass
While the board roof
Lets the howling blizzards in
And I hear the hungry coyote
As he slinks up through the grass
Round the little old sod shanty
On my claim
Of living in this way
Though my bill of fare
Is always rather tame
But I’m happy as can be
For I’m single and I¹m free
In the little old sod shanty on my claim
Ad the windows have no glass
While the board roof
Lets the howling blizzards in
And I hear the hungry coyote
As he slinks up through the grass
Round the little old sod shanty
On my claim
O’er with dough, I’m looking like a fright
And everything is scattered
Round the room
But I wouldn’t give the freedom
That I have out in the west
For the table of the Eastern man’s
Old home
Ad the windows have no glass
While the board roof
Lets the howling blizzards in
And I hear the hungry coyote
As he slinks up through the grass
Round the little old sod shanty
On my claim
Would pity on me take
And relieve him from the mess that he is in
Oh, the angel, how I’d bless her
If this her home she’d make
In the little old sod shanty on my claim
Ad the windows have no glass
While the board roof
Lets the howling blizzards in
And I hear the hungry coyote
As he slinks up through the grass
Round the little old sod shanty
On my claim
