Well, this is my prairie, and this is my home
And I'll make my stand here, and I'll die alone
Well, they can drill and they can mine
O'er my smouldering bones
Cuz this is my prairie, and 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
Oh, 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, and 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, and this is my home
Nîya ôma nitaskî, nîya ôma nîkih
N'ka nipawan ôta n'kapon pimatisin ôta
Kwayask itôta manâcitâ askî
(Hey-ah, hey-ah, hey-ah, ya-ya-ya)
Oh, this is my prairie, and this is my home
This is my prairie, and this is my home
And I'll make my stand here, and I'll die alone
Well, they can drill and they can mine
O'er my mouldering bones
Cuz this is my prairie, and this is my home
