[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]
I'm a roving 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
