Lyrics for Utah Carol by Marty Robbins:
| | | Artist: | Marty Robbins |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Utah Carol | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 78 | | | | Lyrics: | And now my friends you've asked me what makes me sad and still
And why my brow is darkened like
the clouds upon the hill
Run in your ponies closer and I'll tell to you my tale
Of Utah
Carol my partner and his last ride on the trail
We rode the range together and rode it
side by side
I loved him like a brother, and I wept when Utah died
We were rounding up one
morning when work was almost done
When on his side the cattle started on a frightened
run
Underneath the saddle that the boss's daughter rode
Utah that very morning had
placed a bright red robe
So the saddle might ride easy for Lenore his little friend
And it
was this red blanket that brought him to his end
The blanket was now dragging behind her
on the ground
The frightened cattle saw it and charged it with a bound
Lenore then saw her
danger and turned her pony's face
And leaning in the saddle tied the blanket to its
place
But in leaning lost her balance, fell in front of that wild tide
"Lay still
Lenore I'm coming" were the words that Utah cried
His faithful pony saw her and reached her in
a bound
I thought he'd been successful, and raised her from the ground
But the
weight upon the saddle had not been felt before
His backcinch snapped like thunder and he fell
by Lenore
Picking up the blanket he swung it over his head
And started cross the prairie,
"Lay still Lenore" he said
When he got the stampede turned and saved Lenore his
friend
He turned to face the cattle and meet his fatal end
His six gun flashed like
lightning, the report rang loud and clear
As the cattle rushed and killed him he dropped the
leading steer
On his funeral morning I heard the preacher say
I hope we'll all meet
Utah at the roundup far away
Then they wrapped him in a blanket that saved his little
friend
And it was this red blanket that brought him to his end | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
