Oooh, it's been a long long one day
Longer than a country mile
Stronger than a hurricane
Oooh, it's been a long long
Day

This red barn in the field
Dusty winds blow round it
It stands in its place
Firm and tall

So safe inside am I
That I can see
One hundred prairie miles
Waving on endlessly

And papa snores again
While mama lies awake
Silently wondering
Why that grey
Cat that she loved
Up and run away
Ten years ago one
Dusty day just like today

Long one day there I lay
Under the big windy sky I prayed;
Dear Lord make the flickering hands of fate
Finally flip the page
To the yellow sun
Of my coming age

Oooh, it's been a long, long long day....
Longer than a country mile
Stronger than a hurricane
Oooh, its been
A long long day
