And now, my friends,
you ask me
Bb

what makes me sad and still

And why my brow is darkened

like clouds upon the hill
C

Run in your pony closer
Bb
and I'll tell you all the tale
F
Bb
F
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
C
F
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
Bb
of Mexico's fair land
F
Bb
F
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
G
many a herd and many a brand
C
F
There's a grave with
neither headstone,
Bb
F
neither date nor name
Bb
F
There lies my partner sleeping in
C
F
the land from which I came
We rode the rains together
Bb

and rode it side by side

F
I loved him as a brother,
G
I wept when Utah died
C
F
We were rounding up one morning,
Bb
F
our work was almost done.

Went away the cattle
F
started
C
F
on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter
Bb
F
was holding on that side.
Bb
F
She started in to turn them,
G
C
that's where my partner died.

She used a saddle blanket
Bb

given her by a friend.

It was this bright red blanket
C

brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
Bb

at the cattle on the right
Bb

The blanket slipped beneath her

When the cowboy saw the blanket,

they all held their breath
F
Bb
F
If now should the pony fail her,
C
F
none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
Bb
F
she turned her pony's face
Bb
F
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
G
the blanket in its place
C
F
But in leaning, lost her blanket,
Bb
fell in front of that wild tide
F
Bb
F
Lie still, Barrow, I'm coming,
C
F
were the words my partner cried
About 15 yards behind her,
Bb
F
Utah come ridin' fast
Bb
F
Though he never saw that mo ment,
G
C
the ride would be his last
F
His pony reached Farrell
Bb
with firm and steady bound
F
Bb
F
He swung from out the saddle
C
F
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
Bb
had not been felt before
F
Bb
F
and his backstitch snapped asunder
G
and he fell beside Barrow.
C
F
He now picked up the blanket
Bb
F
and swung it over his head
Bb
F
and started across the prairie
C
F
lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
Bb
the report rang loud and clear

as the cattle rushed to kill him

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