Okemah, Okemah, Okemah

Unpublished

Leaning on a barbwire fence
That’s where we went
In Okemah, Okemah, Okemah

With a dream that did come true
For the children, me and you
In Okemah, Okemah, Okemah

To bring Woody home
We were not alone
In Okemah, Okemah, Okemah

In the land of them oaken blackjack trees
Choctaw, Creek, Muskogee
In Okemah, Okemah, Okemah

Where so many had to go
When them dust clouds did roll
In Okemah, Okemah, Okemah

Each of who have a name
For those who remain
In Okemah, Okemah, Okemah

Don’t let no one tell you no
When that fire burns in your soul
In Okemah, Okemah, Okemah

In them Oklahoma hills
Where we gather still
In Okemah, Okemah, Okemah

With a song to be sung
For the old and the young
In Okemah, Okemah, Okemah

Let the children lead the way
Into a better day
In Okemah, Okemah, Okemah
