Blackland Prairies

Wish I was in the prairies

Where the heavens always shine

I prayin' on a wagon train

To take me down the line

Well, it's worth my weight in silver

And it's worth my weight in gold

It's worth my weight in diamonds

But I swear nobody knows

♪

I once loved a woman

And she did not know my name

She never even asked me

But I loved her just the same

If I'd never know her comfort

Then I might as well be dead

A nail to hang my hat on

And a place to lay my head

♪

So if I die tomorrow

Won't you find me where I roam

Through the world that I have traveled

To the prairies I called home

They can have my last green dollar

But I just don't give a damn

But if they're gonna take it

Better pry it from my hands

And I'm worth my weight in gold

I'm worth my weight in diamonds

But I swear, nobody knows
