Cowoby Jack

There was a lonely cowboy With a heart so brave and true He learned to love a maiden With eyes of heaven's own blue They learned to love each other And named their wedding day But a quarrel came between them And Jack, he rode away. He joined a band of cowboys And tried to forget her name Out on the lonely prairie, She waits for him the same One night when work was finished Just at the close of day, Someone said 'sing a song Jack. To drive your Tears away' When Jack Began his singing His mind it wondered back He sang a song of a maiden Who waited for her Jack. (Refrain) Your sweetheart waits for you Jack Your sweetheart waits for you Out on the lonely prairie Your sweetheart waits for you Jack left the camp next morning, Breathing his sweetheart's name For he'd go and ask forgiveness for he know he was to blame. When he reached the lonely prairie, He found a new made mound, His friends they sadly told him, They laid his loved one down. They said as she lay dying Breathing here sweethearts name And told them with her last breath To tell him when he came (Refrain) Your sweetheart waits for you Jack, Your sweetheart waits for you Out on the lonely prairie Where skies are always blue
