title:Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie
category:Folk Music
lyrics or other text:VERSE 1
O, bury me not, on th lone prairie
Was th words came low an' mournfully
From th pale lips of a youth who lay
On his dyin' bed at th close of day

VERSE 2
Bury me not on th lone prairie
Where th wild cowotes will howl o'er me
In a nar-row grave, six by three
O, bury me not, on th lone prairie

VERSE 3
It matters not, I've been told
Where th body lays, when th heart is cold
But grant, O grant, this wish for me
An' bury me not on th lone prairie

VERSE 4
I've always wished when I've died
To be laid in th churchyard on th green hillside
But my Father's grave, let it be
Bury me not, on th lone prairie
