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
