Chorus:

Roll Along Prairie Moon, roll along while I croon,
Shine above lamp of love, Prairie Moon.
Way up there in the blue, Maybe you're lonely too,
Swinging by in the sky, Prairie Moon.

I need your tender light to make things right,
You know I'm all alone tonight.
Far away shed your beams, On the girl of my dreams,
Tell her too, I've been true, Prairie Moon.
