Lyrics

β€œOh, bur y me not

on the lone prai rie,”

these the words came (Dm)slow

and mourn ful (C6)ly

from the pal lid lips

of a youth who lay

on his dy y ing (Dm)bed

at the close of (C6)day.

β€œOh, 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.”

β€œOh, bur y me
