BURY ME NOT ON THE LONE PRARIE
"Ballads of the True West" 1965

KEY: G

INTRO: D  G

N/C        G
Oh bury me not on the lone prarie
                                 D
These words came low and mournfully
                                    G
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
              D                      G
On the bloody ground at the close of day

Oh bury me not and his voice fell there
But we took no heed to his dyin' prayer
In a narrow grave just six-by-three
We buried him there on the lone prarie

INSTRUMENTAL: D  G

Oh bury me not on the lone prarie
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free
Where there's not a soul that will care for me
Oh bury me not on the lone prarie
