"Pride Of The Prairie" is a popular song written in 1907 with music by George Botsford and lyrics by Henry J. Breen. The lyrics tell of a cowboy's love for Mary, the "Pride of the Prairie". The chorus is:

Pride of the prairie, Mary my own,Jump up beside me, ride to my homeMy heart's been lassoed,No more we'll roam,Pride of the prairie, Mary.(repeat)
