The lyrics tell of a cowboy's love for Mary, the "Pride of the Prairie". The chorus is: [Breen, "Pride Of The Prairie" (Sheet music).] :"Pride of the prairie, Mary my own,":"Jump up beside me, ride to my home":"My heart's been lassoed,":"No more we'll roam,":"Pride of the prairie, Mary.":"(repeat)"
The song has been recorded numerous times, perhaps the most noted by Patsy Montana and the Priaire Ramblers (Vocalion 03292) in 1937.
