Pretty good piece by Dan Roberts.

Wolves

January's always bitter
But Lord, this one beats all
The wind ain't quit for weeks now
And the drifts are ten feet tall
I been all night drivin' heifers
Closer in to lower ground
Then I spent the mornin' thinkin'
'Bout the ones the wolves pulled down

Charlie Barton and his family
Stopped today to say goodbye
He said the bank was takin' over
The last few years were just too dry
And I promised that I'd visit
When they found a place in town
Then I spent a long time thinkin'
'Bout the ones the wolves pull down

Lord, please shine a light of hope
On those of us who fall behind
And when we stumble in the snow
Could you help us up while there's still time

Well, I don't mean to be complainin' Lord
You've always seen me through
And I know you got your reasons
For each and every thing you do
But tonight outside my window
There's a lonesome, mournful sound
And I just can't keep from thinkin'
'Bout the ones the wolves pull down

Oh Lord, keep me from bein'
The one the wolves pull down

If it is Stephanie Davis I heard her a couple times on Praire Home Companion. They were doing some shows out west and this was the one they did over in Missoula.. Yah, I know, Keillor is a liberal yadda yadda yadda but there are parts of his radio show that I really enjoy... Well, she did a little poem/song called Bailing twine that just made me bust out laughing.. Actually, had some guys called the Growling Old Men on or something that I kind of enjoyed too..I generally don't like the music they do, just some of the story telling, but that episode I reall enjoyed. Listend to it on the way to my Aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversy I think.
