[Verse 1]
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.
 
 
[Chorus]
             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!

[Verse 2]
                                       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.
 
 
[Chorus]
             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!

[Verse 3]
                                        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.
 
 
 
[Chorus]
             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!
