Big Ol’ Prairie Moon Jacquie Manning, ©1995 Tatertunes Music, BMI

Big ol’ prairie moon hanging high up in the sky

Make the the dogies moo and it makes the coyotes cry

A-oo, I love that prairie moon

A-oo, I love that prairie moon

 

In the bright neon lights of New York City

Pale little moon don’t hardy show

So it starts to rolling it’s way westward

Herding up the stars as it goes

Herding up the stars as it goes

 

By the time it gets to the western prairie

It’s gathered up more stars than you can count

And it’s shining light fills up the whole durn sky

It’s big and bright and bold and white and Oh so round

I love that prairie moon

 

Poor little dogie crying moo, moo, moo

I’m so far away from home

But he’s got himself a partner in that big ol’ prairie moon

Hold him in it’s loving arm beams till the morning comes that

 

Big ol’ prairie moon hanging high up in the sky

Make the the dogies moo and it makes the coyotes cry

A-oo, I love that prairie moon

A-oo, I love that prairie moon
