10. Prairie Rose

(Ferry/Manzanera)

(Texas) Oh that’s where I belong it seems to me
(Texas) Lonesome star shine on the big country
(Texas) With your open skies and you for company
(Texas) Oh prairie rose, how happy I should be

Hey, hey, You can take it from me
Hey, hey, I’ll be coming, you’ll see
Hey, hey, Oh what a state to be in
Hey, hey, You’re tantalizing me

(Texas) I will compose in fancy rhyme or just plain prose
(Texas) A song of praise to you, prairie rose
(Texas) Though I’m not sure I can explain your strange allure
(Texas) Oh prairie rose, a crown of thorns, a scented flower

Hey, hey, I’d better leave right away
Hey, hey, I can hear you calling me
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
Hey, hey, Prairie rose
