Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie

[Verse 1]

Oh bury me not on the lone prairie

Where the coyotes wail and the wind blows free

And when I die don't bury me

Neath the western sky on the lone prairie

[Verse 2]

Oh bury me not on the lone prairie

These words came soft and painfully

From the pallid lips of a youth who lay

On his dying bed at the break of day

[Chorus]

But we buried him there on the lone prairie

Where the rattlesnakes hiss and the wind blows free

In a shallow grave

no one to grieve

Neath the western sky on the lone prairie

[Verse 3]

Oh bury me not on the lone prairie

These words came soft and painfully

From the pallid lips of a youth who lay

On his dying bed at the break of day

[Outro]

On his dying bed at the break of day
