Life Was Rough On The Lone Prairie We Didn’t Have It Made
The Northern Winds Brought The Cold Snow Flurry
And Brought Us Close To The Grave
You Carried Our Child Through The Warm Spring Haul
And If All Went Well You’d Be A Mother Come To Fall
We Had Hard Times Coming With Twisters On The Ground
We Had Tumbleweeds Running And They Would Almost Knocked You Down
We Would Hide Beneath The Storm Cellar’s Door
And Without You There I Couldn’t Take It Anymore
We Had Hard Times Coming But With Your Loving We Made It Alright

The River Swelled Till The Flash Blood Raged Washing Out The Plains
The Cottonwood Stood With Strength Of Age And Like The Trees We Remained
It Takes The True Woman Who Believes In Her Man
To Stand At His Side While He’s Struggling For His Land
We Had Hard Times Coming’ With Sand Storms All Around
We Had Prairie Hay Burning’ Our House Burned Right To The Ground
Oh The Hardships Never Did Seem To In
But When I’d Fall Down You’d Picked Me Right Back Up Again
We Had Hard Times Coming’ But With Your Loving We Made It Alright
We Had Hard Times Coming’ But With Your Loving We Made It Alright
