I can't stop crying. My dad was a cowboy too, my grandfather a blacksmith. Some of my dearest memories are just hanging out with my horses. Standing in a cold barn on a rainy day, brushing my horse, sharing deep secrets, feeling a connection that can never be broken. It's the spirit of freedom and love. These things we share with other cowgirls, whether in life, or by proxy. Thank you my sister cowgirl. Your video has touched a secret place in my heart!

@@gracegallegos5307 I met her backstage twice, years apart, but she remembered me the 2nd time. The 2nd time I got to hang out with the Nash Ramblers. The first time I saw her she was performing at a music festival at a ranch in the Malibu Hills. Her band at the time had Ricky Skaggs, Rodney Crowell, and I think Albert Lee. Emmylou was wearing a purple t-shirt and jeans. Instantly became a fan. I found out about the music festival from a radio show Linda Ronstadt did with Bobby Kimmel where she said how great Emmylou was. (I won a Doc Watson album by calling in!) Bought the ticket, drove up the day of the festival, PCH was blocked by a Big Rock falling on the road and blocking traffic. Traffic backed up miles but I finally got my car turned about and took a very long detour to get to the ranch. Hot day, everyone was in a good mood and the music was the best ever. Somewhere i still have pictures. Back then they allowed SLR's into concerts, even with big lenses.

Most songs that are deep and abiding are meant to be listened to like one would view a great piece of visual art. Art museums are quiet, contemplative spaces where one can view the paintings and sculpture with the concentration needed to appreciate and understand them. This song can only be presented to an audience that hasn't heard it, but will TAKE THE TIME TO SHUT UP AND LISTEN to its simple beauty and deep meaning. Unfortunately, most music venues would not be a good place for this incredible ballad.

I can't even believe how many songs she has sung with her magical ways and her many duets with other great singers. It doesn't seem like she ever gets old. I've loved her since I first heard her with Gram Parsons. And Linda. You too have the voice of an Angel. My only wish was that you didn't leave country for a few albums because then we could have more songs the way you sing the best. I love you both and you have made my life much more beautiful. Now my son loves you both too and we also love you Emmy with John Prine who is such a talented writer and singer. Peace and love to all.

Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away She'll walk 'til she finds him her darlin' her stray But the river's in flood and the roads are awash And the bridges break up in the panic of loss And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go He's gone like the summer gone like the snow And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song As the day caves in and the night is all wrong Did she dream it was he who went galloping past And bent down the fern broke open the grass And printed the mud with the well-hammered shoe That she nailed to his speed in the dreams of her youth And although he goes grazin' a minute away She tracks him all night she tracks him all day And she's blind to his presence except to compare Her injury here with his punishment there Then at home on a branch on a high stream A songbird sings out so suddenly And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride On a willow tree by the riverside An the world is sweet and world is wide And he's there where the light and the darkness divide And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky And he comes to her hand but he's nor really tame He longs to be lost she longs for the same And he'll bolt and he'll plunge thru the first open pass To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass Or he'll make a break for the high plateau Where there's nothing above and noting below It's time for their burden the whip and the spur Will she ride with him or will he ride with her So she binds herself to her galloping steed And he binds himself to the woman in need And there is no space just left and right And there is no time but there is day and night Then she learns on his neck and whispers low Whither thou goest I will go And they turn as one the head for the plain No need for the whip oh no need for the rain Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight Who snaps it asunder the very next night Some say it's him some say it's her Some say love's like smoke beyond all repair So my darlin' my darlin' just let go by That old silhouette on the great western sky And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along And they're gone like smoke and they're gone like this song Say a prayer for the cowgirl

Who ever wrote it ... Nailed it!.....Gram heard the magic ...I believe the best tribute tune I've heard.....when the goose bumps show up and the water flows I know it's perfect....doesn't get better....drunk or sober!

Say a prayer for the cowgirl - her horse ran away She'll walk till she finds him her darlin' her stray But the river's in flood and the roads are awash And the bridges break up in the panic of loss. And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go He's gone like the summer gone like the snow And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song As the day caves in and the night is all wrong. Did she dream it was he who went galloping past And bent down the fern broke open the grass And printed the mud with the well hammered shoe That she nailed to his feet in the dreams of her youth. And although he goes grazin' a minute away She tracks him all night she tracks him all day And she's blind to his presence except to compare Her injury here with his punishment there. Then at home on a branch on the highest tree A songbird sings out so suddenly And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride On a willow tree by the riverside. Ah, the world is sweet and the world is wide He's there where the light and the darkness divide And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky. And he comes to her hand but he's not really tame He longs to be lost she longs for the same And he'll bolt and he'll plunge through the first open pass To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass. Or he'll make a break for the high plateau Where there's nothing above and nothing below It's time for their burden, the whip and the spur Well she ride with him - or will he ride with her? So she binds herself to her galloping steed And he binds himself to the woman in need And there is no space just left and right And there is no time, but there's day and night. And she leans on his neck and whispers low, "Whither thou goest I will go." And they turn as one and the head for the plain No need for the whip oh no need for the rein. Now the clasp of this union, who fastens it tight Who snaps it asunder the very next night Some say it's him, some say it's her Some say love's like smoke, beyond all repair. So my darlin', my darlin' just let it go by That old silhouette on the great western sky And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along And they're gone like smoke and they're gone like this song...

Thanks Tim. Being able to read the lyrics, especially for those very few places where I wasn't sure of a word or two, just makes this amazing song even better.

I love this song and IT REMINDS ME OF ONE OUR CHILDRENs HORSES ONE THAT ran away from us and one of our cowboys caught her.
