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"

"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

[Verse 2]
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

"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

On his dying bed at the break of day...
