Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie Lyrics - Majestic Silver Strings - 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
