[00:00:00] Prairie Fire (Remaster) - Marty Robbins

[00:00:01] Written by：Joe Babcock

[00:00:07] While driving a herd of cattle out in old Nebraska way

[00:00:10] Heading east at broken bow one hot September day

[00:00:14] Trying 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 blowing and the air was getting dry

[00:00:24] Something far away was spelling trouble in the sky

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

[00:00:31] Then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire

[00:00:40] When all at once a flame is seen a licking at the sky

[00:00:44] And every heart is quicker and there's fear in every eye

[00:00:47] We'd just one chance to get away for there's no place to hide

[00:00:51] Gotta reach the river Platte one inch deep and one mile wide

[00:00:58] The herd is getting tired but we've got no time to rest

[00:01:02] I try to clear the red dust that is gathering in my chest

[00:01:05] From riding tail on a thousand head with the weather getting dry

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

[00:01:17] The roaring heat is closer ashes falling by our side

[00:01:20] And every breeze is burning singing with its warning cry

[00:01:24] We've got to reach the river but it's still ten miles or more

[00:01:28] And close behind us we can hear that wind infernal roar

[00:01:37] But fate had other plans for we lost that fatal race

[00:01:40] We lost for neither man nor beast could long keep up the pace

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

[00:01:55] The grim remains are there to show that God rules you and me

[00:01:59] Just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire

[00:02:03] We lost our herd and thirty men to a raging prairie fire
