DYING OUTLAW
LYRICS
Come gather around me, my comrades and friends
The sun it is setting on life’s short day
For I’m wounded to die, and there’s nothing to do
but wait until my life ebbs away
O bury me on the lone prairie
where the hooves of the horses shall fall
Where the echoing tread falls over my head,
and a cowboy will carry me on
I have roved on the prairie by night and by day
No danger I’ve feared as I rode along
But a red-coated foeman has written my doom
and a cowboy will carry me on.
O bury me on the lone prairie
where the hooves of the horses shall fall
Where the echoing tread falls over my head,
and a cowboy will carry me on
where the hooves of the horses shall fall
Where the echoing tread falls over my head,
and a cowboy will carry me on
Be kind to my pony while with you he stays
The bury him beside me when he must go
How often I’ve tried him, and I know he won’t fall
When we ride in the great rodeo
O bury me on the lone prairie
where the hooves of the horses shall fall
Where the echoing tread falls over my head,
and a cowboy will carry me on
where the hooves of the horses shall fall
Where the echoing tread falls over my head,
and a cowboy will carry me on
