《Prairie Fire(Bonus Track)》歌词

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

[00:00:07] While drivin' a herd of cattle out

[00:00:08] In old Nebraska way

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

[00:00:12] One hot September day

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

[00:00:16] We hoped to find a buyer

[00:00:18] We never counted

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

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

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

[00:00:25] Somethin' far away

[00:00:26] Was spellin' trouble in the sky

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

[00:00:30] That topped the devil's choir

[00:00:32] Then we knew we had to race

[00:00:33] A raging prairie fire

[00:00:41] When all at once a flame

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

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

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

[00:00:48] We'd just one chance to get away

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

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

[00:00:53] One inch deep and one mile wide

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

[00:01:00] But we've got no time to rest

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:30] That wind infernal roar

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:46] But none were there to rest

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:03] We lost our herd and thirty men

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