Letra de Down in the Lonesome Draw

The fire, it stands a blazing wick
The smoke, it pours out, honey-thick
Down in the lonesome draw
The moon's all snared in midnight's jaws
The kingdom of the great prairie
Is home to you and home to me
Born in waiting, hem and haw
Shattered like Ol' Dempsey's jaw
The railroad men go pushing west
A scar laid out on mother's breast
And what brings liquor, and what brings gold
Bears the young, and saves the old?
It's a short time here and a long time gone
The workmen sing the people's song
Down in thе lonesome draw
The sun it bakеs the rawhide raw
If you don't like Dodge
You can always go to Abilene
I hear the gettin's plenty and the grass is always green
You can always head to Kansas City
Where they pave all of their roads
But the vices flow like the O-hi-o
And the guv'nor's on parole
My heart lies on a high plateau
The Texas bull stands lowing low
The river's meant to separate
But it just unites the border state
And no one still can understand
What life is like in the borderland
Here's to the great expanse
Where every day's a poisonous dance
If you don't like Dodge
You can always go to Abilene
I hear the gettin's plenty and the grass is always green
You can always head to Kansas City
Where they pave all of their roads
But the vices flow like the O-hi-o
And the guv'nor's on parole
