PRAIRIE DOG SONG 🎵 (Official Music Video) | Song about Prairie Dogs

Details

Description

During our travels through Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and South Dakota, we fell in love with prairie dogs. Seriously, folks, we spent HOURS by the side of the road watching these cute little critters. All of that inspired me to write the "Prairie Dog Song." Hope you enjoy the music and fall in love with them too :-)

PS: I'm not a professional singer or musician. Be kind.

Verse I:
At Cheyenne Mountain,
Echo Canyon,
Custer State Park,
And the Badlands

Are creatures brown
And a little hairy
Hiding underground
On the prairie.

Chorus:
They pop up. They dart down
And make strange chirping sounds
Scurry from mound to mound
In their little Prairie Dog Town

Verse 2:
"Ground Rats!"
Proclaimed William Clark
Meriwether Lewis called them
Squirrels that bark.*

They aren’t canines
But then in his travelogues
Sergeant Ordway named them
"Prairie dogs!"

Verse 3:
They eat grass
They eat seeds
And lay in the sun
As they please.

When strangers come
They might sense harm
So they scatter and sound
The Prairie Dog alarm.

I guess they are rodents. They sure aren’t hounds.
They are a family that likes throw down
It’s WWE near my campground
In that little Prairie dog town.

Notes onthe Prairie Dogs Song:

*In writing this song, it was unclear to me who first coined the term "prairie dogs." The following article suggests that Ordway first called them prairie dogs.
https://www.history.com/news/lewis-and-clark-animals-american-west.
However, from what I could tell, on September 7, 1804, Lieutenant Clark called them "ground rats", while Sergeants Ordway and Gass and Private Whitehouse used the term "prairie dogs" (with some unique spellings) on that same day.
https://lewisandclarkjournals.unl.edu/item/lc.jrn.1804-09-07#lc.jrn.1804-09-07.04.

Both Captain Lewis (2/25/1806) and Lieutenant Clark (8/31/1806) called them "barking squirrels." But that doesn't rhyme as well as "squirrels that bark." Duh.
