When it's moonlight on the prairie, darling Mary,
I'll be waiting with the ponies, love for you;
There's a parson only twenty miles away, twenty miles away, twenty miles away;
When the knot is tied, then side by side we'll ride, dear,
To a pretty little home I've built for you;
I'll be waiting, waiting, waiting for you, Mary,
When it's moonlight on the prairie, Mary dear!
