少女的祈禱,是一首美國西部搖擺舞歌曲,由鮑勃·威爾斯在其早年聽到的一首民歌曲調上改編而成[1],於1935年發表,歌詞如下:

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.

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."
