Western Moon
Language: English 
Sweet-heart dear, listen here
I'm sincere
when I say that I'm in love with you for fair 
I would trace any place on the face of this wide world 
if I knew that you were there
Since you gave me that first glance 
Why you have set me in a trance.
Just confess and say yes, you can put me to the test,
And true love will do the rest

Under the western moon 
Come love, and let us spoon
Where all the world's in tune 
Say you'll be my sweet-heart soon. 
If that one word you'll say 
Then we will ride a way 
To wed 'neath the western moon.

It's our fate 
you're my mate,
why then wait 
go straight
to see a parson, girlie mine
Now don't say, 
that we may 
lose our way,
for I know that cupid guides us all the time
Oh just think of all the fun
That we will have when we are one, 
 Kiss and seal, love's that real,
then a way we'll quick y steal,
And the wedding bells will peal

Under the western moon ...
