Db
Gb
Db
Ab
Db
And now, my friends,
you ask me
Gb
Db
what makes me sad and still
Gb
Db
And why my brow is darkened
Eb
like clouds upon the hill
Ab
Db
Run in your pony closer
Gb
and I'll tell you all the tale
Db
Gb
Db
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
Ab
Db
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
Gb
of Mexico's fair land
Db
Gb
Db
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
Eb
many a herd and many a brand
Ab
Db
There's a grave with
neither headstone,
Gb
Db
neither date nor name
Gb
Db
There lies my partner sleeping in
Ab
Db
the land from which I came
We rode the rains together
Gb
Db
and rode it side by side
Gb
Db
I loved him as a brother,
Eb
I wept when Utah died
Ab
Db
We were rounding up one morning,
Gb
Db
our work was almost done.
Gb
Went away the cattle
Ab
Db
on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter
Gb
Db
was holding on that side.
Gb
Db
She started in to turn them,
Eb
Ab
that's where my partner died.
Db
She used a saddle blanket
Gb
Db
given her by a friend.
Gb
Db
It was this bright red blanket
Ab
Db
brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
Gb
Db
at the cattle on the right
Gb
Db
The blanket slipped beneath her
Eb
and cut the stirrup tight
Ab
Db
When the cowboy saw the blanket,
Gb
they all held their breath
Db
Gb
Db
If now should the pony fail her,
Ab
Db
none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
Gb
Db
she turned her pony's face
Gb
Db
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
Eb
the blanket in its place
Ab
Db
But in leaning, lost her blanket,
Gb
fell in front of that wild tide
Db
Gb
Db
Lie still, Barrow, I'm com ing,
Ab
Db
were the words my partner cried
About 15 yards behind her,
Gb
Db
Utah come ridin' fast
Gb
Db
Though he never saw that mo ment,
Eb
Ab
the ride would be his last
Db
His pony reached Farrell
Gb
with firm and steady bound
Db
Gb
Db
He swung from out the saddle
Ab
Db
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
Gb
had not been felt before
Db
Gb
Db
and his backstitch snapped asunder
Eb
and he fell beside Barrow.
Ab
Db
He now picked up the blanket
Gb
Db
and swung it over his head
Gb
Db
and started across the prairie
Ab
Db
lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
Gb
the report rang loud and clear
Db
Gb
as the cattle rushed to kill him
Db
Eb
Ab
he dropped the leading steer
Db
and when we broke the circle
Gb
where Utah's body lay
Db
Gb
Db
with many a wound and bruise,
Ab
Db
his young life had ebbed away
And in some future morning
Gb
I heard the preacher say
Db
Gb
Db
I hope we'll all meet Utah
Ab
Eb
at the roundup far away
Ab
Db
Then we wrapped him in a blanket,
Gb
set him by his little friend
Db
Gb
And was that very blanket
Db
Ab
Db
Gb
Db
Ab
Db
that brought Utah to his end
