Cat. #1060 (MFH #505) - As sung by Raymond Sanders, Mountain View, Arkansas on May 12, 1970
VERSE 1
Out on th wild an' wooly praire
Not far from on Peablo town
Thre lived a little girl named Mary
Blue eyes an' tresses of brown
From o'er th plains there came a cowboy
He said, let's name our wedding day
She bowed her head an' whispered, now boy
An' on th broncos, they rode away
They rode away, one summer day
Pride of th prairie, Mary, my own
Jump up beside me, ride to my home
My heart's been lassoed, no more to roam
Pride of th prairie, Mary, my own,
VERSE 2
He held her bronco, while she mounted
Then ask her, may I steal a kiss
He stoled more kisses than she counted
Then hand in hand he answered this
He answered this, I stoled a kiss
Pride of th prairie, Mary , my own
Jump up beside me, ride to my home
My heart's been lassoed, no more to roam
Pride of th prairie, Mary, my own
