| [00:09.107] |
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie |
| [00:18.275] |
These words came low and mournfully |
| [00:27.619] |
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay |
| [00:37.246] |
On his dying bed at the close of day |
| [00:44.975] |
|
| [00:46.410] |
"Oh, bury me not", and his voice failed there |
| [00:55.617] |
But they took no heed to his dying prayer |
| [01:04.839] |
In a narrow grave just six by three |
| [01:14.147] |
They buried him there on the lone prairie |
| [01:22.852] |
|
| [02:01.050] |
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie |
| [02:10.110] |
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free |
| [02:19.619] |
Where there's not a soul that will care for me |
| [02:28.794] |
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie |
| [02:38.190] |
|
| [02:39.045] |
And the cowboys now as they roam the plains |
| [02:47.403] |
For to mark the spot where his bones were lain |
| [02:56.685] |
Fling a handful of roses over his grave |
| [03:06.100] |
With a prayer to god for his soul to save |
| [03:15.455] |
With a prayer to god for his soul to save |
| [03:23.920] |
