[Fiji Hill]

My great grandfather may have sung this parody of "Beulah Land" in the 1890's:

Nebraska land, Nebraska land,
Upon thy burning soil I stand.
I look away across the plains
And wonder why it never rains.
I look away across the plains
And wonder why it never rains.

[Revski]

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