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

Written by：Babcock[00:00:01]

While drivin' a herd of cattle out in old nebraska way[00:00:07]

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[00:00:17]

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[00:00:41]

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[00:00:53]

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

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

I try to clear the red dust[00:01:02]

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

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

Head with the weather gettin' dry[00:01:07]

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

Warning ride ride ride[00:01:10]

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

Fallin' by our side[00:01:19]

And every breeze is burnin'[00:01:21]

Singin' with it's warnin' cry[00:01:22]

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

It's still ten miles or more[00:01:26]

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

That wind infernal roar[00:01:29]

But fate had other plans[00:01:37]

For 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[00:01:44]

It's rage but none were there to rest[00:01:45]

We did our best to get away but only I am left[00:01:47]

Now on the blackened prairie far as the eye can see[00:01:52]

The grim remains are there to show that[00:01:56]

God rules you and me[00:01:58]

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[00:02:03]

To a raging prairie fire[00:02:05]
