When the evening stars are shining cold and clear

And the drovers tell their stories round the campfire

The tale of Sarah Hogan you will hear

Sarah was the sweetest flower of the prairie

With flowing hair and blue eyes flecked with gray

Her smile could turn the sunshine into shadow

And the cowboys that came courting her would say

Chorus:

Won’t you meet me in the moonlight Sarah Hogan

We can ride out in the hills my Sarah dear

Hear that prairie wolf a cryin he sings a mournful song

But I will not be lonesome with you here

Billy Caldwell was a bold and reckless cowboy

He vied for Sarah’s heart and not in vain

But her father could not stand the charming rounder

And forbade them both to ever meet again

Then Billy fell in with some bad man from Wyoming

When they robbed theTillford bank two men were killed

Sarah did not know her lover was an outlaw

On the night she rode to see him in the hills

Chorus:

Won’t you meet me in the moonlight Sarah Hogan…

In the quiet shadows waiting for the outlaws

Were some vigilantes shrouded by the night

Sarah’s father put a rifle to his shoulder

As a mounted robber lined up in his sights

And when the gunshot tore the silence just like thunder

The bullet knocked the rider to the ground

But when the man ran out to fetch the fallen outlaw

It was Sarah’s lifeless body that they found

Won’t you meet me in the moonlight…

After last line sing – I’ll be all alone without you here.
