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.
