Away Out On The Old Saint Sabbath

Away out on the old Saint Sabbath

Lay down to take my rest

My knapsack for my pillow

And my gun across my chest

Please don't bury me on the lone pa-rairie

Please don't bury me on the lone prairie

You can bury me in the east, you can bury me in the west

Please don't bury me on the lone prairie

My father, he lies sleeping

Beneath the deep blue sea

I have no father, no mother

There's none but Nell and me

Please don't bury me on the lone pa-rairie

Please don't bury me on the lone prairie

You can bury me in the east, you can bury me in the west

Please don't bury me on the lone prairie

My mother she lies sleeping

Beneath the churchyard sod

Her body lies there moldering

And her spirit has gone to God

Please don't bury me on the lone pa-rairie

Please don't bury me on the lone prairie

You can bury me in the east, you can bury me in the west

Please don't bury me on the lone prairie
