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