lyrics

Prairie Biscuit
Moon hangs in the sky like a biscuit
I ain’t seen nothing holding it up
Run, gonna brawl, stop it when is falls
And cover it with gravy in the morning

Prairie Moon shinin’ on the frosting
Almanac says another blizzard’s on its way
Go to the still. Get our fill.
Tomorrow is Christmas day.

Gonna kick up the sawdust and the cinders boys
Gonna rock that barn into the creek
When the timbers start to groan, the captains coming home
And the fishes in the Wabash start to speak

Prairie Moon shinin’ on the frosting
Almanac says another blizzard’s on its way
Go to the still. Get our fill.
Tomorrow is Christmas day.

Someone lit a fire in the hayloft
Some farmer broke his fiddle on my head
I jumped on the sod til the stars began to nod
And Ol’Hanna put the Prairie Moon to bed

Mornin’ come weeping in the window
Flap-Jacks flipping in the air
When the griddle starts to spit
The folks’ll have a fit when they catch you when you’re creeping up the stairs

Prairie Moon shinin’ on the frosting
Almanac says another blizzard’s on its way
Go to the still. Get our fill.
Tomorrow is Christmas day.

about

Rich Krueger Chicago, Illinois

A literary songwriter of the first rank. It’s his quavering, compassionate, observant, imaginative, sometimes overstuffed, always eloquent songwriting that his crack bands are there to put across, as they do, unfailingly.... the kind of miracle that keeps me checking out thousands of albums a year so I can grade a couple hundred for posterity.
- Robert Christgau, Dean of American Rock Critics
