Bury Me Not (Live in Amsterdam)

歌詞

"Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie" These words came slow and mournfully From the bleedin' lips of the youth who lay On his dyin' bed at the close of day He moaned in pain while over his head The shadows of death grew thick like lead He thought of his home and family that night As the cowboys gathered to watch him die "Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie Where the wild coyotes howl over me In a narrow grave, just six by three Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie" "In dreams I've listened to the well-known words Of the wild prairie winds and the songs of birds I think of the table where my mama put flowers And the scenes I loved in those long lost hours" "It matters not I've often been told Where the body lies when the heart grows cold Oh grant, oh grant this wish to me And bury me not on the lone prairie" "I've always wished to be laid when I died In a little churchyard on the green hillside By my mama's grave please let mine be And bury me not on the lone prairie" "Oh, bury me not", and his voice stopped there But we took no heed of his dyin' prayer In a narrow grave, just six by three We buried him there on the lone prairie
