Lyrics

[Intro]
| Dm | - | - | - |
| -  | - |

[Verse 1]
              Dm            F
"Oh bury me not on the lone prairie"
     Fmaj9/E          Dm                 F
These       words came  slow and mournfully
From the pallid lip of a youth who lay
      Fmaj9/E     Dm   A#/F                Dm
In his       dying  bed    at the close of day

[Verse 2]
              Dm
"Oh bury me not...
                        F
," and his voice failed there
         Fmaj9/E  Dm                 F
But they took   no  heed to his dying prayer
In a narrow grave, just six by three
     Fmaj9/E         Dm
They buried him there
A#/F                Dm
    on the lone prairie

[Interlude]

| - - | -  Fmaj9/E | Dm - | A#/F - |
| F - | Dm -       | -  - |

[Verse 3]
             Dm                F
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie
          Fmaj9/E  Dm                    F
Where the owl    of  night hoots mournfully
        Fmaj9/E F
And the blizzard beats and the winds blow free
        Fmaj9/E       Dm   A#/F                Dm
O'er his       lonely grave    on the lone prairie

[Verse 4]
              Dm                 F
And the cowboys now as they roam the plain
       Fmaj9/E    Dm                        F
For to marked the spot where his bones were lain
Fling a handful of roses o'er his grave
       Fmaj9/E  Dm   A#/F                Dm
With a prayer to  God    for his soul to save
