Burnin' down the prairie Got a handful of river cane Burnin' down the prairie Got a handful of river cane I'm just sitting up on this hillside Prayin' to God it doesn't rain We've been healin' from a winter That brought us more than sleet and snow We've been healin' from a winter That brought us more than sleet and snow Someone out there somewhere's Been cutting down the buffalo Well, we followed bloody footprints For many miles along the creek Yeah, we followed bloody footprints For many miles along the creek Someone out there somewhere's Been walkin' with two wicked feet And daddy's on a rampage Late at night I hear him cryin' And daddy's on a rampage Every night I hear him cryin' He said someone out there somewhere's Been stalkin' like a mountain lion ♪ And I can see 'em comin' now Covered up in bone and hide Yeah, I can see 'em comin' now And they're covered up in bone and hide Burnin' down the prairie Ravin' mad and wild-eyed
