Verse 1
Eb
Ab
Eb
Bb
Eb
And now, my friends,
you ask me
Ab
Eb
what makes me sad and still
Ab
Eb
And why my brow is darkened
Bb
Eb
Run in your pony closer
Eb
Ab
Eb
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
Bb
Eb
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
Eb
Ab
Eb
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
Bb
Eb
There's a grave with
neither headstone,
Ab
Eb
neither date nor name
Ab
Eb
There lies my partner sleeping in
Bb
Eb
the land from which I came
We rode the rains together
Ab
Eb
and rode it side by side
Ab
Eb
I loved him as a brother,
Bb
Eb
We were rounding up one morning,
Ab
Eb
our work was almost done.
Bb
Eb
on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter
Ab
Eb
was holding on that side.
Ab
Eb
She started in to turn them,
F
Bb
that's where my partner died.
Ab
Eb
given her by a friend.
Ab
Eb
It was this bright red blanket
Bb
Eb
brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
Ab
Eb
at the cattle on the right
Ab
Eb
The blanket slipped beneath her
Bb
Eb
When the cowboy saw the blanket,
Eb
Ab
Eb
If now should the pony fail her,
Bb
Eb
none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
Ab
Eb
she turned her pony's face
Ab
Eb
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
Bb
Eb
But in leaning, lost her blanket,
Eb
Ab
Eb
Lie still, Barrow, I'm com ing,
Bb
Eb
were the words my partner cried
About 15 yards behind her,
Ab
Eb
Utah come ridin' fast
Ab
Eb
Though he never saw that mo ment,
F
Bb
the ride would be his last
Eb
Ab
Eb
He swung from out the saddle
Bb
Eb
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
Eb
Ab
Eb
and his backstitch snapped asunder
Bb
Eb
He now picked up the blanket
Ab
Eb
and swung it over his head
Ab
Eb
and started across the prairie
Bb
Eb
lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
Eb
Ab
as the cattle rushed to kill him
Eb
F
Bb
he dropped the leading steer
Eb
Ab
Eb
with many a wound and bruise,
Bb
Eb
his young life had ebbed away
And in some future morning
Eb
Ab
Eb
I hope we'll all meet Utah
Bb
F
at the roundup far away
Bb
Eb
Then we wrapped him in a blanket,
Eb
Ab
And was that very blanket
Eb
Bb
Eb
Ab
Eb
Bb
Eb
that brought Utah to his end
