Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairieThese words came low and mournfullyFrom the pallid lips of a youth who layOn the bloody ground at the close of day
Oh, bury me not and his voice failed thereBut we took no heed to his dying prayerIn a narrow grave just six by threeWe buried him there on the lone prairie
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairieWhere the coyotes howl and the wind blows freeWhere there's not a soul that will care for meOh, bury me not on the lone prairie
