and I'll tell you all the tale

Of Utah Corral, my partner,

they all held their breath
Eb

If now should the pony fail her,

none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
Ab

she turned her pony's face
Ab
Eb
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,

the blanket in its place

But in leaning, lost her blanket,

fell in front of that wild tide

Lie still, Barrow, I'm com ing,

the ride would be his last

set him by his little friend
Eb

And was that very blanket
Eb

Eb
Bb
Eb
that brought Utah to his end
