Runnin' in the rain   Trying to catch a train   And make it to the post   To walk with my wife's ghost      And if that ain't gonna work out   I'll just lay down and die   Rest my head upon the prairie   And say my last goodbye      I'm kneelin' on the ground   Hopin' I'm homeward bound   Make it home to see the familty   Lord! Just set my soul free      And if that ain't gonna work out   I'll just lay down and die   Rest my head upon the prairie   And say my last goodbye      Layin' in a boxcar   Stars above my head   Can't stop thinkin'   About the last thing she said      And if that ain't gonna work out   I'll just lay down and die   Rest my head upon the prairie   And say my last goodbye
