“O, bury me not on the lone prairie” These words came low and mournfully From the pallid lips, o' a youth who lay On his dying bed at the close of day “It matters not I have been told Where the body lies when the heart goes cold But grant o' grant this wish to me Bury me not on the lone prairie” “O, bury me not on the lone prairie Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free Where not a soul will care for me O, bury me not on the lone prairie” “I wish to lie where a mother's prayer Or sister's tear will linger there Where friends can come and weep o'er me O, bury me not on the lone prairie” “O bury me not”, his voice failed there And we took no heed o' his dying prayer In a narrow grave, just six by three We buried him there on the lone prairie And the cowboys now as they roam the plains For we mark the spot where his bones were lain Put a handful o' roses o'er his grave And prayed to God for his soul to save
Thomas, I want everyone to know I could not have done this without you. Thank you for teaching me the song and for helping me with the recording equipment.
“O, bury me not on the lone prairie”
These words came low and mournfully
From the pallid lips, o' a youth who lay
On his dying bed at the close of day
“It matters not I have been told
Where the body lies when the heart goes cold
But grant o' grant this wish to me
Bury me not on the lone prairie”
“O, bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free
Where not a soul will care for me
O, bury me not on the lone prairie”
“I wish to lie where a mother's prayer
Or sister's tear will linger there
Where friends can come and weep o'er me
O, bury me not on the lone prairie”
“O bury me not”, his voice failed there
And we took no heed o' his dying prayer
In a narrow grave, just six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie
And the cowboys now as they roam the plains
For we mark the spot where his bones were lain
Put a handful o' roses o'er his grave
And prayed to God for his soul to save
Thank you!
