| lyric | ,"1. ""Oh, burry me not on the lone prairie"",
These words come low and mournfully,
From the pale lips of a youth who lay
On his deathbed at the close of day.
2. “Oh bury me not on the lone prairie
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free.
In a cold, cold grave don’t bury me,
Oh bury me not on the lone prairie.“
3. “Oh bury me not …“, and his voice failed there,
But we took no heed of his dying prayer;
In a narrow grave just six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie.
