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 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
