Alone in a great big city I'm as lonesome as I can be Far from the open spaces and the one that is dear to me Seems years since I left this prairie Where the coyotes roam at night And howl while the stars are blinking And the moon shines clear and bright Let me rest down in Texas the land of my boyhood dream I'm getting so old and feeble my days are nearly done Oh how I long for the prairie where the cattle and mustangs run Take me out there where the cowboys singing the campfires gleam Let me rest down in Texas the land of my boyhood dream
