Lady Of The Prairie

lyrics

"Lady of the Prairie"

She saw him stagger from the west
As the sun was sinkin' low
Drawn in by the dyin' fires embers
He was haggard, close to death she thought
Barely standin' on his own
Shakin' from the cold of late November

She met him with a smile
And through a blanket o'er his shoulders
Sat him down and gave the man a meal
It took a little while
Before he found the words to thank her
He asked her name and she replied "Jael"

She knew he was an outlaw
From a poster she had scene
And he was on the run of somethin' like
And she thought he could be handsome
If he was just a little cleaner
She took him in and kept him warm that night

Lady of the prairie
Livin' out there on here own
In the wilds where good men refuse to go
Lady of the prairie
She's just a myth to some
Hair red as the clay
And a heart as cold as stone

When he was fast asleep
She moved so careful not to stir him
Took her old claw hammer in her hand
For she knew the outlaw's bounty
Would surely last her through the winter
And she wouldn't waste a bullet on a soundly sleepin' man

Lady of the prairie
Livin' out there on here own
In the wilds where good men refuse to go
Lady of the prairie
She's just a myth to some
Hair red as the clay
And a heart as cold as stone

Hair red as the clay
And a heart as cold as stone
