"This Is My Prairie (Remix)"

This is my prairie, this is my home
I'll make my stand here, and I'll die alone
They can drill, they can mine o'er my smouldering bones
(Cuz) this is my prairie, this is my home

The water is poison, my calves are all dead
My children are sick, and the river's been bled
They want a big coal mine, right thru Pop's grove
But this is my prairie, this is my home

I can't blame the miners or the guys drivin' truck
For feedin' their families and makin' a buck
But take a close look at the stock that you own
Cuz this is my prairie, this is my home

I don't got the money that lawyers can buy
I don't got my own government's laws on my side
But I still hold the title that my granddaddy owned
And this is my prairie, this is my home

Nîya ôma nitaskî, nîya ôma nîkih
N'ka nipawan ôta n'kapon pimatisin ôta
Kwayask itôta manâcitâ askî

They can drill and they can mine o'er my mouldering bones
(Cuz) this is my prairie, this is my home

This is my prairie, this is my home
I'll make my stand here, and I'll die alone
They can drill and they can mine o'er my mouldering bones
(Cuz) this is my prairie, this is my home
