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

[00:00:01] Written by：Babcock

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

[00:00:11] Headin' east at broken bow one hot september day

[00:00:14] Tryin' to get to omaha we hoped to find a buyer

[00:00:17] We never counted in the odds of a western prairie fire

[00:00:21] A hot south wind was blowin' and the air was gettin' dry

[00:00:25] Somethin' far away was spellin' trouble in the sky

[00:00:28] Comin' closer was a sound that topped the devil's choir

[00:00:32] Then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire

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

[00:00:42] Seen a lickin' at the sky

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

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

[00:00:47] 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'

[00:00:59] Tired 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

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

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

[00:01:10] Warning ride ride ride

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:29] That wind infernal roar

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

[00:01:38] For 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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:58] 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
