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
