          G         
snow deer mine, Moon's a-shine, through the pines 
              D7      
While Mohawks sleep, Let us creep, through the vale 
                                     G       
Your cowboy lover,   your heart will cover 
          G 
Don't hesitate, it is late, ponies wait 
            D7 
For you and me by the trees in the dale 
                                     G 
Hear tom-toms beating, let's hit the trail 

          C                       G   
My pretty snow deer, say you will go, dear 
          D7 
From your side, I'll never part 
                          G 
Every trail leads to your heart 
             C                 G 
It's time to marry, no time to tarry 
       D              D7                 G   
Let me carry you from here my sweet snow deer 

            G                         
The red men come, Bullets hum, there'll be some 
            D7  
Left on the trail, I can't fail, cling to me 
                                    G 
We'll crown the story with love and glory 
           G  
Now, after all, must I fall, hear my call 
         D7 
And fly away while we may, can't you see? 
                                              G 
Those ranch lights gleaming, safe there we'll be 

          C                       G   
My pretty snow deer, say you will go, dear 
          D7 
From your side, I'll never part 
                          G 
Every trail leads to your heart 
             C                 G 
It's time to marry, no time to tarry 
       D              D7                 G   
Let me carry you from here my sweet snow deer 

          C                       G   
My pretty snow deer, say you will go, dear 
          D7 
From your side, I'll never part 
                          G 
Every trail leads to your heart 
             C                 G 
It's time to marry, no time to tarry 
       D              D7                 G   
Let me carry you from here my sweet snow deer
