Prairie People

They are good and honest folks Their land has so much to give They grow crops across the prairie In the good life that they live Just plain ordinary people they are Living by uncomplicated rules Life isn’t easy but it’s made simple Their parents didn’t raise no fools Plant their crops and let them grow Nourish them and they’ll be grand They raise their kids the same way On this worn but rich sweet land They never waste a single thing And teach their kids the same It’s part of their way of life Proud that their world is plain They teach and live exactly by The golden rule that we all know Not afraid to hug their kids and They love them and tell them so If you’d like to meet some folks That don’t want a mansion or castle You’ll love the kind of folks that are Just plain good prairie people!
