homestead - michelle shocked lyrics

Loading...

almost caught me a coyote today
a lowdown skunk of a dog i say
i fired my gun as he slunk away
but he’ll be back again

it ain’t been easy since my husband died
a widow woman at thirty-five
none can court me and few have tried
but i keep these homestead hopes alive

a couple of cows, a couple of hens
a mule that plows every now and then
but mostly balks and wears me thin
he can’t talk but i swear he grins

don’t call it a prairie if you fence it in
could call it a pasture but the topsoil’s thin
it just might rain but then again
it wouldn’t make no difference

ever since they built that d-mn railroad
hobos been knocking at my door
saying, “lady, i will work for food
can i haul you water, can i chop you wood?”

let me take a good look at you
ain’t nothing lye and hot water won’t do
you can sleep on my porch if you’re wanting to
and i give him my husband’s old brown boots

but in the morning he was up and gone
a chicken missing from my pen
i told you that coyote would be back again
but it don’t make no difference

don’t call it a prairie if you fence it in
could call it a pasture but the topsoil’s thin
sometimes i still take hobos in
but i walk to town when i need a friend
