                    A                                                          D           A
    Away out on the old Saint Sabbath lay down to take my rest,
                                                              E                       A
    my knapsack for my pillow and my gun across my chest.

                       E                                        A
Please don't bury me on the lonesome prairie,
                       E                                   A
please don't bury me on the lone prairie!
                                                              D
You can bury me in the east, you can bury me in the west,
                       E                                   A
please don't bury me on the lone prairie!

           A                                                       D             A
    My father he lies sleeping beneath the deep blue sea,
                          D          A                     E                          A
    I have no father no mother, there's none but Nell and me.

                       E                                        A
Please don't bury me on the lonesome prairie,
                       E                                   A
please don't bury me on the lone prairie!
                                                              D
You can bury me in the east, you can bury me in the west,
                       E                                   A
please don't bury me on the lone prairie!

             A                                                          D               A
    My mother she lies sleeping beneath the church yard sod,
                                                                      E                         A
    her body lies there mouldering and her spirit has gone to God.

                       E                                        A

please don't bury me on the lone prairie!
                                                              D
You can bury me in the east, you can bury me in the west,
                       E                                   A
please don't bury me on the lone prairie!
