Lyrics
Oh 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 bed at the close of day
He wailed in pain
til over his brow
Death's shadows fast came tumbling down
He thought of home and loved ones nigh,
As the cowboys gathered to see him die.
In a lone graveyard, I'll soon be laid
And it won't be long til my grave is made
In that bright land where my loved ones wait
Is a place for me when I reach that gate
"It matters not, I've oft been told,
Where the body lies when the heart grows cold
Yet grant, o grant, this wish to me
O bury me not on the lone prairie."
In a lone graveyard, I'll soon be laid
And it won't be long til my grave is made
In that bright land where my loved ones wait
Is a place for me when I reach that gate
"O bury me not..." And his voice failed there.
But we take no heed to his dying prayer.
In a narrow grave, just six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie.
