              G
'Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
                                  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 failed there
But we took no heed to his dying prayer
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 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 prairie
