Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie
Buddy Miller

O bury me not on the lone prairie

These words came low and mournfully

From the pallid lips of the youth who lay

On his dying bed at the end of the day


It matters not, I've often been told

Where the body lies when the heart grows cold

But grant, o grant, this wish to me

And bury me not on the lone prairie


I've always wished that when I die


To be buried there on the green hillside

By my father's grave, there let mine be

And bury me not on the lone prairie


O bury me not, and his voice failed there

But we took no heed of his dying prayer

In a narrow grave, barely six by three

They buried him there on the lone prairie
