I never heard the parody to the song and the words you have written have a prayerful cry.

Indeed, they do. The drought that began in 1890 devastated western Nebraska, and the calamity was exacerbated by the depression that started in 1893. Sometime during those years, my great grandparents, along with my grandfather, an infant or a toddler, left their farm in Nebraska and set out for Colorado to start a new life.
