Capo 1
D G D
A cowboy with his sweetheart stood beneath a starlit sky
G D E A7
Tomorrow he was leaving for the lonesome prairie wide
D G D
She said "I'll be your loving bride when you return someday"
G D A7 D
He handed her a broken ring and to her he did say
D G D
"You'll find upon that ring sweetheart my name engraved in gold
G D A7 D
And I shall keep the other half which bears your name you know."
G D
Three years had passed, he did not come, and Nell will wed tonight
G D E A7
Her father said an Earl would make her happy home so bright
D G D
The lights were gaily glowing as they stood there side by side
G D A7 D D-A7-D
"Let's drink a toast to this young man and to his lovely bride."
D G D
Just then there stood within the door a figure tall and slim
G D E A7
A handsome cowboy was their guest and slowly he walked in
D G D
"I'll drink with you a toast." said he, and quickly in her glass
G D A7 D
He dropped his half of wedding ring, then anxiously he watched.
D G D
She tipped her glass and from her lips a ring fell shining bright
G D E A7
The token she had longed to see lay there beneath the light
D G D
"Though years have been between us dear, love won our last long fight,
G D A7 D
It's you my cowboy sweetheart and my Jack I'll wed tonight."
