Db
Ab
Eb
Ab
And now, my friends,
you ask me
Db
Ab
what makes me sad and still
Db
Ab
And why my brow is darkened
Bb
like clouds upon the hill
Eb
Ab
Run in your pony closer
Db
and I'll tell you all the tale
Ab
Db
Ab
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
Eb
Ab
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
Db
of Mexico's fair land
Ab
Db
Ab
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
Bb
many a herd and many a brand
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,
Bb
I wept when Utah died
Eb
Ab
We were rounding up one morning,
Db
Ab
our work was almost done.
Db
Went away the cattle
Eb
Ab
on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter
Db
Ab
was holding on that side.
Db
Ab
She started in to turn them,
Bb
Eb
that's where my partner died.
Ab
She used a saddle blanket
Db
Ab
given her by a friend.
Db
Ab
It was this bright red blanket
Eb
Ab
brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
Db
Ab
at the cattle on the right
Db
Ab
The blanket slipped beneath her
Bb
and cut the stirrup tight
Eb
Ab
When the cowboy saw the blanket,
Db
they all held their breath
Ab
Db
Ab
If now should the pony fail her,
Eb
Ab
none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
Db
Ab
she turned her pony's face
Db
Ab
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
Bb
the blanket in its place
Eb
Ab
But in leaning, lost her blanket,
Db
fell in front of that wild tide
Ab
Db
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
His pony reached Farrell
Db
with firm and steady bound
Ab
Db
Ab
He swung from out the saddle
Eb
Ab
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
Db
had not been felt before
Ab
Db
Ab
and his backstitch snapped asunder
Bb
and he fell beside Barrow.
Eb
Ab
He now picked up the blanket
Db
Ab
and swung it over his head
Db
Ab
and started across the prairie
Eb
Ab
lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
Db
the report rang loud and clear

Db
as the cattle rushed to kill him
Ab
Bb
Eb
he dropped the leading steer
Ab
and when we broke the circle
Db
where Utah's body lay
Ab
Db
Ab
with many a wound and bruise,
Eb
Ab
his young life had ebbed away
And in some future morning
Db
I heard the preacher say
Ab
Db
Ab
I hope we'll all meet Utah
Eb
Bb
at the roundup far away
Eb
Ab
Then we wrapped him in a blanket,
Db
set him by his little friend
Ab
Db
And was that very blanket
Ab
Eb
Ab
Db
Ab
Eb
Ab
that brought Utah to his end
