Lyrics

“Oh, bur y me not

from the pal lid lips

of a youth who lay

at the close of (C6)day.

“Oh, bur y me not

on the lone prai rie,

where the wild coy (Dm)otes

will howl o’er (C6)me

in a nar row grave,

just a six by three.

Oh, his bur y me (Dm)not

on the lone prai (C6)rie.”

“Oh, bur y me
