[Verse 1]
             G                   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                        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]
                  D                G***

[Verse 3]
            G                   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
