"Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie" [Dm/F]
Dm Am Dm
Oh bury me not on the lone prai-rie
F C7 F
These words came low and mourn - ful - ly
F C7 F
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
F Dm Am Dm
On his dy-ing bed at the close of day
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the coyotes howl, and the wind blows free.
In a narrow grave just six by three
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie.
It matters not, I've oft been told
Where the body lies, when the heart grows cold.
Yet grant, oh grant, this wish to me
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie.
I've often wished to be laid when I die
By the little church, on the green hillside
Next my father's grave, there let mine be
O bury me not on the lone prairie
Oh bury me not...
But his voice fell there
And we paid no heed to so his dying prayer.
In a narrow grave, just six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie.
Teddy Blue said this: “Even the coyotes howled at it; it got so they’d throw you in the creek if you sang it.” One university researcher included it as one of the four songs most sung on the cattle trail.
Recorded (minor key version) by Carl T. Sprague 1926. May be based on “The Ocean Burial” (composed by Allen 1850 with lyrics by Chapin from 1839) or “The Sailor Boy’s Grave” (1841).
