Praire Fire - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]

While drivin' a herd of cattle out[00:00:06]

In old Nebraska way[00:00:08]

Headin' east at Broken Bow[00:00:10]

One hot September day[00:00:12]

Tryin' to get to Omaha[00:00:14]

We hoped to find a buyer[00:00:15]

We never counted[00:00:17]

In the odds of a western prairie fire[00:00:18]

A hot south wind was blowin'[00:00:21]

And the air was gettin' dry[00:00:22]

Somethin' far away[00:00:24]

Was spellin' trouble in the sky[00:00:25]

Comin' closer was a sound[00:00:28]

That topped the devil's choir[00:00:29]

Then we knew we had to race[00:00:31]

A raging prairie fire[00:00:33]

When all at once a flame[00:00:40]

Is seen a lickin' at the sky[00:00:42]

And every heart is quicker[00:00:44]

And there's fear in every eye[00:00:45]

We'd just one chance to get away[00:00:47]

For there's no place to hide[00:00:49]

Gotta reach the river Platte[00:00:51]

One inch deep and one mile wide[00:00:52]

The herd is gettin' tired[00:00:58]

But we've got no time to rest[00:00:59]

I try to clear the red dust[00:01:01]

That is gatherin' in my chest[00:01:03]

From ridin' tail on a thousand head[00:01:05]

With the weather gettin' dry[00:01:07]

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

Is warning ride ride ride[00:01:10]

The roarin' heat is closer[00:01:17]

Ashes fallin' by our side[00:01:18]

And every breeze is burnin'[00:01:20]

Singin' with its warnin' cry[00:01:22]

We've got to reach the river[00:01:24]

But it's still ten miles or more[00:01:25]

And close behind us we can hear[00:01:28]

That wind infernal roar[00:01:29]

But fate had other plans for[00:01:36]

We lost that fatal race[00:01:38]

We lost for neither man nor beast[00:01:40]

Could long keep up the pace[00:01:42]

The mighty Platte subdued its rage[00:01:44]

But none were there to rest[00:01:45]

We did our best to get away[00:01:47]

But only I am left[00:01:49]

Now on the blackened prairie far[00:01:52]

As the eye can see[00:01:54]

The grim remains are there to show[00:01:55]

That God rules you and me[00:01:57]

Just one he left to tell the tale[00:01:59]

Just one was his desire[00:02:01]

We lost our herd and thirty men[00:02:02]

To a raging prairie fire[00:02:04]
