John loved Sarah with all his heart
Deep down, to the marrow of bone
They were married in a little white church
The ground, was covered in snow
They packed up the wagon as the spring came
Hoofed it out west, to lay their claim
Settled in Montana beneath a big sky
And for a time, all was right
Every night she'd whisper, in his ear
I believe we could prosper, here
Every night he'd whisper, to her ear
A western pastel picture, so clear
We'll prosper here
The years rolled by and the Babys did come
A little Anna-Belle Lee, and her brother Tom
But then the droughts rolled in, and the hired hands went
One, by one, by one
Still every night she'd whisper, in his ear
I believe we could prosper, here
Yeah every night he'd whisper, to her ear
A western pastel picture, so clear
We'll prosper here
The seasons rolled by, things got worse
The horses and the cattle, returned to the dirt
Then the fever took Sarah, and John was left
With little Anna-Belle Lee and Tom, to morn her death
Still every night she'd be there, in his ear
Saying I believe we could prosper, here
So every night he'd whisper, to the dark
A western pastel picture, from his heart
We'll prosper here
Anna-Belle Lee was soon married away
And John gave Tom the dowery
So Tom set out, to chasing gold
In Cal-A-Forn-I-A I-A
Now John's left, all alone
On the desolate dirt, with an empty home
Every night, he lays awake in bed
With ghostly pastel visions, in his head
He begins each day squinting, through sleepless eyes
Reflecting through the horizon, his whole life
With Sarah's voice still ringing, in his ear
He whispers to himself, I've prospered here
I've prospered here
