Lonesome Prairie


I’m sitting on the lonesome prairie
Watching the coal train roll by
I wonder where you are today, lady
And if you’re sleeping all alone tonight

Out here on the lonesome prairie
It rains a little everyday
I can’t say I mind but I’m aching
To press another kiss upon your face

Walking on the lonesome prairie
A man’ll get lost in a dream
But me I stay awake for you, lady
In case you would be coming home to me

Sundown on the lonesome prairie
Lord, it’s cold here at night
And I just blame myself if I miss you
I’m tossing til the morning brings a light

Tomorrow on the lonesome prairie
I’ll be watching the coal train roll by
I wonder if you think about me, lady
And if you’re sleeping all alone tonight
