[Verse 1]
             G
'Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie

                 G               D
These words came low and mournfully

                D                   G
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay

              D                      G
On the bloody ground at the close of day
[Verse 2]
            G
Oh, bury me not and his voice failed there

               G                 D
But we took no heed to his dying prayer

            D                 G
In a narrow grave just six by three

              D                     G
We buried him there on the lone prairie

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
            G
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie

                  G                       D
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free

                    D                       G
Where there's not a soul that will care for me

            D                  (G)
Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
