A7 A7* A7** A7 A7* A7** A7 A7* A7** D D Just one more child of the prairie. A Whispering prairie winds blow through my soul. A7 A7* A7** A7 A7* A7** Her endless skies amaze me still, and I expect they always will, A7 A7* A7** D Some envisions out past my control.

Conestoga wagons in their thousands.
Carried restless hearts across these plains.
Dreams of fertile land or gold fed a hunger uncontrolled,
And bred an endless line of wagon trains.


G D
Jackknife winds won't ever cease their blowing,
A
Summer sun's burned down on dwindling streams.
A7 A7* A7** A7 A7* A7**
Women stand in doorways looking southward,
A7 A7* A7** D
While old men lie and dream their buffalo dreams.

I stand starlight struck tonight in Kansas
Beside a trail still visible today.
Soon these fields of waving weed will rise in summer rain and heat,
Till the harvest crews come carry them away.

Jackknife winds won't ever cease their blowing,
Summer sun's burned down on dwindling streams.
Women stand in doorways looking southward,
While old men lie and dream their buffalo dreams.

Something in this prairie soil has bound me.
Whispering grasses are my evening song.
Steamboats on the wide Missouri whistle as they barrel through,
Prepare tonight to carry me along.

Jackknife winds won't ever cease their blowing,
Summer sun's burned down on dwindling streams.
Women stand in doorways looking southward,
While old men lie and dream their buffalo dreams.
The old men lie and dream their buffalo dreams.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 2012)
