Horsethief Moon lyrics

Ole Horsethief Moon, shine down upon us,

From Medicine Hat to Writing-on-Stone

Shine deep in the canyons, shine deep in the coulees

Shine down on Henry, he waits all alone

And his love, she's a rider of fast barrel horses

Her braids are like bronc reins they shine in the sun.

Ah Henry save your money, Henry learn to polka

And you will win her heart by the time you are done

Chorus:

And we'll gather from a far guided by the stars

To dance the polka, 'neath the horsethief moon

And by tomorrow night, she'll be rising big and bright

Gold and shiney like a Spanish doubloon

Yodel A-EE A-EE A-EE HEE

Horsethief Moon

Well, Her folks they're rich folks

They farm seven sections

And they sit on them big tractors

And they go around all day.

And they ain't big on cowboys

They ain't big on Henry,

Henry don't you let them stand in your way,

Ah Horesethief Moon shine down on Alberta

Shine down on Henry, let his spirits soar.

Shine down on the fatties, shine down on the skinnies

Shine down on that cowgirl that Henry adores

And we'll gather from a far guided by the stars

To dance the polka 'neath the Horsethief Moon

And by tomorrow night she'll be rising big and bright
