about

I’ve loved this song ever since I heard Eddy Arnold sing it, although he only sang one verse. When I started to consider it for the recording, I did some research on it and found Carson Robison and his Buckaroos doing it on YouTube. The “hi ho” at the end is a tip of the hat to Robison’s original version.

lyrics

Carry Me Back To The Lone Prairie
Recorded by Sons Of The Pioneers
Written by Carson J. Robison

C 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 F
Though my heart is yonder on the lone prairie

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

Dm G7 C
Give me back my saddle give me back my gun
Dm G7 C
Give me back my bronco that I used to run
Am Dm
Let me spread my blanket by a peaceful stream
G7 C
Hear the cowboys singing in the campfire gleam


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