[Куплет]:
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
[Припев]:
Oh! Bury me not
On the lone prairie
These words came soft and painfully
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
On his dying bed
At the break of day
[Куплет]:
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 grieve
'Neath the western sky
On the lone prairie
[Припев]:
Oh! Bury me not
On the lone prairie
These words came soft and painfully
From the pallid lips of a youth who lay
On his dying bed
At the break of day
On his dying bed
At the break of day
