少女的祈禱 (搖擺舞歌曲)

少女的祈祷，是一首美国西部摇摆舞歌曲，由鲍勃·威尔斯在其早年听到的一首民歌曲调上改编而成McWhorter, Cowboy Fiddler, p. 59-60: "Bob said, 'He played 'The Spanish Two-Step' and I locked the door where he couldn't get out and nobody else could get in, and I made him stay there until he taught me that and 'Maiden's Prayer.' Finally he nodded. I didn't know whether he needed to go to the bathroom or if I was doing it right, bit I let him out.' That Mexican taught him those two tunes."，于1935年发表，歌词如下：

Twilight falls, evening shadows find, 
There 'neath the stars, a maiden so fair divine. 
All alone, I seem to see her there. 
In her eyes is a light, shining ever so bright, 
She whispered a silent prayer.
