Me and my dear comrades, did gather on the prairie
oh me and my dear comrades did gather on the shore
Their glasses filled with amber, their laughter never did die
their throats they filled with fire and a sparkle in the eye
It’s all I can do to make you feel wanted, it’s all I can do to make you feel at home
Dear friends they ride for Townsend, where family’s sure to greet them
and lovers ride for pleasure, it’s bound to work out right
Hold, oh hold on steady, my carriage rides for morning
And sunrise brings a palette so open up your eyes
Whitecaps break hard and heavy, as though a constant warning
And home down in the valley, she surely sits alright
Hold, oh hold on steady, my carriage rides for morning
And sunrise brings a palette so open up your eyes
As any crow can tell you, the sky goes on forever
And as any man can tell you, true love is hard to
