Lyrics O Bury Me Not On the Lone Prairie - Boston Pops Orchestra

O Bury Me Not On the Lone Prairie

Oh bury me not
On the lone prairie
Where the coyotes wail
And the wind blows free
And when i die don’t bury me
'Neath the western sky
On the lone prairie
Oh bury me not
On the lone prairie
These words came solved
And painfully
From the palid leaves
To a youth who laid
Olders die in bed
At the breakup day
But we buried him there
On the lone prairie
Where the rattlesnakes hiss
And the wind blows free
In a shallow grave
No one to greave
'Neath the western sky
On the lone prairie
Oh bury me not
On the lone prairie
These words came solved
And painfully
From the palid leaves
To a youth who laid
Olders die in bed
At the breakup day
