Outside The Jurisdiction Of Man lyrics

Lying in the wagon bottom looking out over the side At that great wide open Western land Not another soul in sight for miles and miles around We’re outside the jurisdiction of man All along the horizon only stars The complete dome of Heaven is all ours Haven’t got a nickel, nothing’s frying in the pan We’re outside the jurisdiction of man Seeking fame and fortune Made me old before my time And that life I’ll forget it if I can I was made for soft cool mornings And watching thunderstorms roll in Outside the jurisdiction of man So let my remaining time all pass On a blanket of swaying prairie grass And then won’t you bury me ‘Neath the work of God’s own hand Outside the jurisdiction of man
