My heart she rambles, my heart she roams
My heart she’s lonely and blue
And when I find my dear ole heart
I’ll bring it straight back to you
My love she held it and squeezed it tight
She ripped it and tore it apart
She stepped on the pieces and kicked ’em aside
Left me with a hole for a heart
I’ve climbed over mountains, I’ve searched every town
And hundreds of rivers I’ve crossed
I’ve stumbled through brambles and slept in the rain
To bring back the heart that I’ve lost
Chorus
Through dark, open prairie she sings her song
A sad and dusty ole tune
And when I find my dear ole heart
I’ll bring it straight back to you
In my aching journey for my dear heart
God shone his bright light on me
You a beauty with eyes of blue
Appeared in this valley so green
You loved me softly, you loved me strong
You gave me a love so blessed
But how can I return what I do not have
Because of this hole in my chest
Chorus
Through dark, open prairie she sings her song
A sad and dusty ole tune
And when I find my dear ole heart
I’ll bring it straight back to you
