"Lost Claim"

lyrics

Daddy read the flyer over breakfast
I remember the story
Plots of land, cheaper than fleas out
in the Indian territory
And, he was gone
sale out to find a new home

He disappeared one morning
told Sissy take care of me
Ma had died right before my eyes
last February, and still he left
Cheap land out west, the kids alone

Daddy lost his claim to a Sooner
somewhere way out west
I could tell when I looked into his eyes
that he'd been best and left to hang
with nothing for to show

I was too little to remember
exactly where he'd went
A couple days, a few more nights
coming home looking spent
And, still, I was happy
to have him back either way

I was happy
that daddy lost his claim
