lyrics
Don’t you look me in the eye
Don’t you look at me and cry
Say another one has stolen all your love
Ain’t like water in a hole
Ain’t like sugar in a bowl
No it never can get all used up
When the starling take the country
And the passenger don’t fly anymore
Don’t speak to me of love
Don’t look at me and cry
When first upon this country’s shores, I chanced to lay my eyes
Upon a fair young gentleman and swore I’d make his bride
I saw in him a future so bountiful and fair
With children and a plot of land in clean, sweet prairie air
The day dawned bright and dressed in white I pledged my love to him
Full of the kind of happiness I’d never know again
Westward ho the wagons go, we joined that rolling train
Our youngest caught the fever and he died upon the plain
Made of stronger stuff we knew this sorrow soon would pass
We raised our roof and family midst the waving prairie grass
But soon my man grew distant and no longer came to me
Choosing to spend his time in town in another’s company.
I watch him shine his leather boots and brush his finest coat
And tie a silken handkerchief around his fresh shaved throat
He rides away leaving behind his wife children and gun
Three days to spend upon the bed of his other one.
I saddle up the big black mare and follow into town
To meet them ‘neath the prairie moon and lay them in the ground.
