Cowboy Jack [core]
Jack he was a cowboy
With a heart so brave and true
He learned to love a maiden
With eyes of heavenly blue
They learned to love each other
And planned their wedding day
But a quarrel came between them
And Jack he rode away
Chorus
Your sweetheart waits for you Jack
Your sweetheart waits for you
Out on the lonely prairie
Your sweetheart waits for you
He joined a band of cowboys
And he tried to forget her name
But out on the lonely prairie
She waits for him in vain
Jack dreamed of a fair young maiden
Who was waiting far away
He left the town next morning
Saying boys I can not stay
But when he reached that prairie
He found a new laid mound
And his friends then sadly told him
They laid her in the ground
She said as she was dying
I'm waiting Jack for you
Out on the lonely prairie
Where the skies are always blue
