Lyrics
“Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie” These words came low and mournfully From the pouted lips of a youth who lay On his dying bed at the close of day "Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie Where the coyote howls and the wind blow free In a narrow grave just six by three Bury me not on the lone prairie" "It matters not I'm often told Where the body lies when the heart grows cold Yet grant, oh grant, this wish to me Bury me not on the low prairie" "Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie Where the coyote howls and the wind blow free In a narrow grave just six by three Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie" He wailed in pain and o'er his brow Death's shadows fast were gathering now He thought of his friends and his home but nigh As the cowboys gathered to see him die “Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie” These words came low and mournfully From the pouted lips of a youth who lay On his dying bed at the close of day We took no heed to his dying pray In a narrow grave, we buried him there In a narrow grave just six by three We buried him there, on the lone prairie "Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie Where the coyote howls and the wind blow free In a narrow grave just six by three Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie"
