And now, my friends,

And why my brow is darkened
Eb

Run in your pony closer
Ab
Db
Ab
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
Eb
Ab
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
Ab
Db
Ab
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
Eb
Ab
There's a grave with
neither headstone,
Db
Ab
neither date nor name
Db
Ab
There lies my partner sleeping in
Eb
Ab
the land from which I came
We rode the rains together
Db
Ab
and rode it side by side
Db
Ab
I loved him as a brother,
Eb

We were rounding up one morning,
Db

our work was almost done.

on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter

was holding on that side.

She started in to turn them,

given her by a friend.

It was this bright red blanket
Eb

brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
Db
Ab
at the cattle on the right
Db

The blanket slipped beneath her
Eb

When the cowboy saw the blanket,
Ab
Db

If now should the pony fail her,
Eb

none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
Db

she turned her pony's face
Db

She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
Eb

But in leaning, lost her blanket,
Ab

Ab
Lie still, Barrow, I'm com ing,
Eb
Ab
were the words my partner cried
About 15 yards behind her,
Db
Ab
Utah come ridin' fast
Db
Ab
Though he never saw that mo ment,
Bb
Eb
the ride would be his last
Ab
Db
Ab
He swung from out the saddle
Eb
Ab
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
Ab
Db
Ab
and his backstitch snapped asunder
Eb

He now picked up the blanket
Db

and swung it over his head

and started across the prairie
Eb

lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
Ab
Db
as the cattle rushed to kill him
Ab

he dropped the leading steer
Ab

with many a wound and bruise,
Eb

his young life had ebbed away
And in some future morning
Ab
Db
Ab
I hope we'll all meet Utah
Eb

at the roundup far away
Eb
Ab
Then we wrapped him in a blanket,
Ab
Db
And was that very blanket
Ab
Eb
Ab
Db
Ab
Eb
Ab
that brought Utah to his end
