When it's twilight on the prairie
Where the pale blue violets hide
I sit and long for you, dear
Just to have you by my side
In dreams I see you smiling
Through eyes of heavenly blue
When it's twilight on the prairie I am thinking,
dear, of you
Twilight on the prairie
Cattle cease to roam
I'm swinging in my saddle Down the trail to home,
sweet home
As I'm riding in the twilight On the rolling prairie wide
I'm swaying in my saddle My guitar hangs by my side
The air is filled with fragrance From flowers in full bloom
When it's twilight on the prairie On a golden night in June
Twilight on the prairie
Cattle
cease to roam
I'm swinging in my saddle Down the trail to home,
sweet home
I am thinking as I linger Where once we used to
stray Of songs we sang together Long before our
parting days
My lonely heart is aching
For days that once we knew
When it's twilight on the prairie I am dreaming,
dear, of you
Twilight on the prairie
Cattle cease to roam
I'm swinging in my saddle
Down the trail to home, sweet home
