[Verse 1] Oh, cowboy far away from home Far from the prairie where I used to roam Where the dogies wander and the wind blows free Though my heart is yonder on the lone prairie [Chorus] Oh carry me back to the lone prairie Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free And when I die you can bury me Neath the western skies on the lone prairie [Chorus] Oh carry me back to the lone prairie Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free And when I die you can bury me Neath the western skies on the lone prairie [Verse 2] Give me back my saddle give me back my gun Give me back that bronco that I used to run Let me spread my blanket near a peaceful stream Hear the cowboys singin by the campfires gleam [Chorus] Oh carry me back to the lone prairie Where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free And when I die you can bury me Neath the western skies on the lone prairie [Outro] Hiyo!
