Michelle Shocked
Homestead

Almost caught me a coyote today

A lowdown skunk of a dog I say

I fired my gun as he slunk away

But he'll be back again

It ain't been easy since my husband died

A widow woman at thirty-five

None can court me and few have tried

But I keep these homestead hopes alive

A couple of cows, a couple of hens

A mule that plows every now and then

But mostly balks and wears me thin

He can't talk but I swear he grins

Don't call it a prairie if you fence it in

Could call it a pasture but the topsoil's thin

It just might rain but then again

It wouldn't make no difference

Ever since they built that damn railroad

Hobos been knocking at my door

Saying, "Lady, I will work for food

Can I haul you water, can I chop you wood?"

Let me take a good look at you

Ain't nothing lye and hot water won't do

You can sleep on my porch if you're wanting to

And I give him my husband's old brown boots

But in the morning he was up and gone

A chicken missing from my pen

I told you that coyote would be back again

But it don't make no difference

Don't call it a prairie if you fence it in

Could call it a pasture but the topsoil's thin

Sometimes I still take hobos in

But I walk to town when I need a friend


Mirror lyrics:

But I walk to town when I need a friend

Sometimes I still take hobos in

Could call it a pasture but the topsoil's thin

Don't call it a prairie if you fence it in

But it don't make no difference

I told you that coyote would be back again

A chicken missing from my pen

But in the morning he was up and gone

And I give him my husband's old brown boots

You can sleep on my porch if you're wanting to

Ain't nothing lye and hot water won't do

Let me take a good look at you

Can I haul you water, can I chop you wood?"

Saying, "Lady, I will work for food

Hobos been knocking at my door

Ever since they built that damn railroad

It wouldn't make no difference

It just might rain but then again

Could call it a pasture but the topsoil's thin

Don't call it a prairie if you fence it in

He can't talk but I swear he grins

But mostly balks and wears me thin

A mule that plows every now and then

A couple of cows, a couple of hens

But I keep these homestead hopes alive

None can court me and few have tried

A widow woman at thirty-five

It ain't been easy since my husband died

But he'll be back again

I fired my gun as he slunk away

A lowdown skunk of a dog I say

Almost caught me a coyote today
