Oooh, it's been a long long one day
|
longer than a country mile
|
stronger than a hurricane
|
oooh, it's been a long long
|
day.
|
|
This red barn in the field.
|
Dusty winds blow round it.
|
It stands in its place
|
firm and tall.
|
|
So safe inside am I
|
that I can see
|
one hundred prairie miles
|
waving on endlessly.
|
|
And papa snores again
|
while mama lies awake
|
silently wondering
|
why that grey
|
cat that she loved
|
up and run away,
|
ten years ago one
|
dusty day just like today.
|
|
Long one day there I lay
|
under the big windy sky I prayed;
|
dear Lord make the flickering hands of fate
|
finally flip the page
|
to the yellow sun
|
of my coming age.
|
|
Oooh, it's been a long, long long day....
|
longer than a country mile
|
stronger than a hurricane.
|
Oooh, its been
|
a long long day.
