Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie - Johnny Cash
Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie
Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie
"Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie"
These words came low and mourn - ful - ly
G G (5 fr.) G Gm7
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
On his dying bed at the close of day.
He has wasted and pined 'til o'er his brow
Death's shades were slowly gathering now.
G G (5 fr.) G Gm7
He thought of home and loved ones nigh,
And the cowboys gathered to see him die.
"Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie,
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free.
G G (5 fr.) G Gm7
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.
G G (5 fr.) G Gm7
Yet grant, oh grant, this wish to me,
Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie."
"I've always wished to be laid when I died
In a little churchyard on a green hillside.
G G (5 fr.) G Gm7
By my father's grave there let me be,
Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie."
"I wish to lie where a mother's prayer
And a sister's tear will mingle there.
G G (5 fr.) G Gm7
Where friends can come and weep o'er me.
Oh bury me not on the lone Prairie."
"For there's another whose tears will shed
For the one who lies in a Prairie bed.
G G (5 fr.) G Gm7
It breaks my heart to think of her now,
She has curled these locks; she has kissed this brow."
"Oh bury me not..." And his voice failed there
But they took no heed to his dying prayer.
G G (5 fr.) G Gm7
In a narrow grave, just six by three,
They buried him there on the lone Prairie.
And the cowboys now as they roam the plain
For they marked the spot where his bones were lain,
G G (5 fr.) G Gm7
Fling a handful of roses o'er his grave
With a prayer to God, his soul to save.
