Lyrics
- Pale moon, carry me away
To the rolling plains tonight
Pale moon, please don’t let me stray
Show me the wrong from the right
I’m so lonely when the sun goes down
Lonely for my little prairie town
Chorus
There’s a home in Wyomin’
Far across the Great Divide
Skies are brighter, hearts are lighter
And the door is open wide
There’s a girl in Wyomin’
‘Neath the prairie stars that shine
Let me wander ‘way out yonder
To that old sweetheart of mine
Through the purple sage once more
We’ll ride, ride, ride
Down the sunset trail together
Side by side
All alone in the gloamin’
We will plan a nest for two
Just a home in old Wyomin’
In the land where dreams come true
- West wind, take my little song
To the one I love the best
West wind, say I won’t be long
Soon I’ll be out in the West
When the purple turns to gold back home
Then I’ll settle down, no more to roam
