W:"Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie"
W:These words came low and mournfully
W:From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
W:On his dying bed at the close of day.
W:
W:"Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie
W:Where the coyotes howl, and the wind blows free
W:In a narrow grave, just six by three,
W:Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie."
W:
W:"Oh, bury me not," and his voice failed there,
W:But we took no heed to his dying prayer:
W:In a narrow grave, just six by three,
W:We buried him there on the lone prairie.
W:
W:Yes, we buried him there on the lone prairie,
W:Where the old night owl hoots mournfully:
W:And the blizzard howls, and the wind blows free
W:O'er that lonely grave on the lone prairie.
