Verse 1

C
Oh carry me back to the lone prairie
                                          G7
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free
C          Dm          G7   C
And when I die you can bury me
Dm                G7                    C
Neath the western skies on the lone prairie

Verse 2

             Dm         G7        C
I'm a roving cowboy far away from home
             Dm              G7      C
Far from the prairie where I used to roam
                  Am                        Dm
Where the doggies wander and the wind blows free
                   G7                     C
Though my heart is yonder on the lone prairie

Verse 3

Oh carry me back to the lone prairie
                                          G7
Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free
C          Dm          G7   C
And when I die you can bury me
Dm                G7                    C
Neath the western skies on the lone prairie
