Jesus Christ

You are gone So far from home My heart's a-yearnin' To see you soon To come and find you I must prepare So I close my eyes and say this little prayer Jesus Christ Mother Mary I'll be ridin' o'er that prairie On a coal-black stallion pony To see my one and only Jesus Christ Mother Mary I'll be ridin' o'er that prairie As fast as four legs take me Until I'm with my baby I was always honest I was always true But your ma and pa Didn't want to know But I've been working hard All night and day The next time that sun is risin' You and I'll be on our way Jesus Christ Mother Mary I'll be ridin' o'er that prairie On a coal-black stallion pony To see my one and only Jesus Christ Mother Mary I'll be ridin' o'er that prairie As fast as four legs take me Until I'm with my baby
