From the recording Sarah Barker & Gypsy Twang
Lyrics
If I don’t die in Oklahoma, won’t you say a Christian prayer?
For my heart is in my homeland, and it’s waiting for me there
When I go, don’t send me flowers
No don’t lay me in the ground
Come and sing me home for hours
With my friends and my family all around
Cast my dust upon the wind; let her take me to my rest
She’s a comfort and a friend as the sun sets in the west
Save my soul for the Nescatunga, where the water tastes like tears
There’s a tug that pulls me under, let her take away my fears
Give my love to my dear husband, when I leave him all alone
He has been a true companion, but this journey is my own
If I don’t die in Oklahoma, won’t you say a Christian prayer?
For my heart is in my homeland, and it’s waiting for me there
If I don’t die in Oklahoma, won’t you say a Christian prayer?
