[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
These words came slow and mournfully
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
In his dying bed at the close of day.
[Verse 2]
Oh, bury me not. And his voice failed there
But they took no heed to his dying prayer.
In a narrow grave, just six by three,
They buried him there on the lone prairie.
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
where the owl of night hoots mournfully,
And the blizzard beats, and the winds blow free
O er his lonely grave on the lone prairie.
[Verse 4]
And the cowboys now as they roam the plain
For to mark the spot where his bones were lain
Fling a handful of roses o er his grave
With a prayer to God for his soul to save.
