You are gone
So far from home
My heart's a-yearnin'
To see you soon
To come and find you
I must prepare
So I close my eyes and say this little prayer
Jesus Christ
Mother Mary
I'll be ridin' o'er that prairie
On a coal-black stallion pony
To see my one and only
Jesus Christ
Mother Mary
I'll be ridin' o'er that prairie
As fast as four legs take me
Until I'm with my baby
I was always honest
I was always true
But your ma and pa
Didn't want to know
But I've been working hard
All night and day
The next time that sun is risin'
You and I'll be on our way
Jesus Christ
Mother Mary
I'll be ridin' o'er that prairie
On a coal-black stallion pony
To see my one and only
Jesus Christ
Mother Mary
I'll be ridin' o'er that prairie
As fast as four legs take me
Until I'm with my baby
