  The Legend Of The Prairie Fairies
 
There is a land called Texas
Upon the great High Plains
In land of sage and cactus
Is where the Prairie Fairies reign
 
They love wide open spaces
Where above the eagle flies
And make their homes out on the land
Under glittered Texas skies
 
They ride the trails with cowboys
Wherever they may roam
Wearing homespun wings of calico
Golden sunflowers are their homes
 
And if you'll listen closely
You'll hear them in the wind
Saying "Hi Y'all and Howdy do?"
And "Y'all come back again!"
