The Marksman Ken Graydon 1991

Some redneck with a rifle’s put a bullet through the cow

The state highway commission has put up for all to see

Just to warn unwary motorists that cows don’t pay attention

When go to cross the highway to a place they’d rather be

 

That cow was not a trophy ‘cause it hadn’t any antlers

And it wasn’t any challenge ‘cause it couldn’t even move

And being painted on aluminum the poor thing couldn’t bleed

And so we’re left without a hint of what this feller tried to prove

 

So now he’s gone and left us with a perforated sign board

That was meant to keep a driver from colliding with a cow

And in a way that sign’s condition sends an even stronger warning

Cause that yahoo and his rifle are at large somewhere right now

Big ol’ prairie moon hanging high up in the sky

Make the the dogies moo and it makes the coyotes cry

A-oo, I love that prairie moon

A-oo, I love that prairie moon

 

In the bright neon lights of New York City

Pale little moon don’t hardy show

So it starts to rolling it’s way westward

Herding up the stars as it goes

Herding up the stars as it goes

 

By the time it gets to the western prairie

It’s gathered up more stars than you can count

And it’s shining light fills up the whole durn sky

It’s big and bright and bold and white and Oh so round

I love that prairie moon

 

Poor little dogie crying moo, moo, moo

I’m so far away from home

But he’s got himself a partner in that big ol’ prairie moon

Hold him in it’s loving arm beams till the morning comes that
