"O bury me not on the lone prairie"
These words came
low and mournfully
From the pallid lips of the youth who lay
On his dying be at the close
of day.
"O bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the wild coyote will howl o'er
me
Where the buffalo roams the prairie sea
O bury me not on the lone
prairie"
"It makes no difference, so I've been told
Where the body lies when life
grows cold
But grant, I pray, one wish to me
O bury me not on the lone
prairie"
"I've often wished to be laid when I die
By the little church on the green
hillside
By my father's grave, there let mine be
O bury me not on the lone
prairie"
The cowboys gathered all around the bed
To hear the last word that their
comrade said
"O partners all, take a warning from me
Never leave your homes for the lone
prairie"
"Don't listen to the enticing words
Of the men who own droves and
herds
For if you do, you'll rue the day
That you left your homes for the lone
prairie"
"O bury me not," but his voice failed there
But we paid no head to his
dying prayer
In a narrow grave, just six by three
We buried him there on the lone
prairie
We buried him there on the lone prairie
Where the buzzards fly and the wind
blows free
Where rattlesnakes rattle, and the tumbleweeds
Blow across his grave on the
lone prairie
And the cowboys now as they cross the plains
Have marked the spot where
his bones are lain
Fling a handful of roses on his grave
And pray to the Lord that his
soul is saved
In a narrow grave, just six by three
We buried him there on the lone
prairie
