Prairie Fire - Marty Robbins[00:00:01]

While drivin' a herd of cattle out in old Nebraska way[00:00:02]

Headin' east at Broken Bow one hot September day[00:00:11]

Tryin' to get to Omaha we hoped to find a buyer[00:00:14]

We never counted in the odds of a western prairie fire[00:00:18]

A hot south wind was blowin' and the air was gettin' dry[00:00:21]

Somethin' far away was spellin' trouble in the sky[00:00:25]

Comin' closer was a sound that topped the devil's choir[00:00:28]

Then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire[00:00:32]

When all at once a flame is seen a-lickin' at the sky[00:00:41]

And every heart is quicker and there's fear in every eye[00:00:44]

We'd just one chance to get away for there's no place to hide[00:00:48]

Gotta reach the river Platte one inch deep and one mile wide[00:00:51]

The herd is gettin' tired but we've got no time to rest[00:00:59]

I try to clear the red dust that is gatherin' in my chest[00:01:02]

From ridin' tail on a thousand head with the weather gettin' dry[00:01:06]

The black cloud in the west is warning ride ride ride[00:01:09]

The roarin' heat is closer ashes fallin' by our side[00:01:18]

And every breeze is burnin' singin' with its warnin' cry[00:01:21]

We've got to reach the river but it's still ten miles or more[00:01:25]

And close behind us we can hear that wind infernal roar[00:01:28]

But fate had other plans for we lost that fatal race[00:01:37]

We lost for neither man nor beast could long keep up the pace[00:01:41]

The mighty Platte subdued its rage but none were there to rest[00:01:45]

We did our best to get away but only I am left[00:01:48]

Now on the blackened prairie far as the eye can see[00:01:53]

The grim remains are there to show that God rules you and me[00:01:56]

Just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire[00:01:59]

We lost our herd and thirty men to a raging prairie fire[00:02:04]
