Let the Rain Come In

Oh bury me not on the lone prairie 
  Where the coyotes wail and the wind blows free 
  And when I die, don't bury me 
  'neath the Western sky on the lone prairie. 

  Oh bury me not on the lone prairie 
  These words came soft and painfully 
  From the pallid lips of a youth who lay 
  On his dying bed at the break of day. 

  But we buried him there, on the lone prairie 
  Where the rattlesnakes hiss and the wind blows free 
  In a shallow grave, no one to greave 
  'neath the Western sky on the lone prairie. 

  Oh bury me not on the lone prairie 
  These words came soft and painfully 
  From the pallid lips of a youth who lay 
  On his dying bed at the break of day, 
  On his dying bed at the break of day.
